Model Description

MiLMMT-46-12B-v1.0 is an LLM-based translation model. Its training builds on Gemma3-12B through three stages: (1) continual pretraining on 143 billion tokens of monolingual and parallel data across 46 languages, yielding MiLMMT-46-12B-Pretrain; (2) supervised finetuning, yielding MiLMMT-46-12B-v0.1; and (3) reinforcement learning (RL), yielding this model, MiLMMT-46-12B-v1.0.

Supported Languages: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bulgarian, Bengali, Catalan, Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Persian, Finnish, French, Hebrew, Hindi, Croatian, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Malay, Burmese, Norwegian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Tagalog, Turkish, Urdu, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional).

Run the model

Using on vLLM:

from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams


model_id = "xiaomi-research/MiLMMT-46-12B-v1.0"

model = LLM(model=model_id)
sampling_params = SamplingParams(top_k=1, temperature=0, max_tokens=2048)

text = "Translate this from Chinese (Simplified) to English:\nChinese (Simplified): 我爱机器翻译\nEnglish:"

outputs = model.generate(text, sampling_params)
print(outputs[0].outputs[0].text)

Using on Transformers:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer


model_id = "xiaomi-research/MiLMMT-46-12B-v1.0"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

text = "Translate this from Chinese (Simplified) to English:\nChinese (Simplified): 我爱机器翻译\nEnglish:"
inputs = tokenizer(text, add_special_tokens=False, return_tensors="pt")

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=1024)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Limitations

MiLMMT-46 currently supports only the 46 languages listed above, and strong translation performance is not guaranteed for other languages. We will continue to improve the translation quality of MiLMMT-46, and future model releases will follow in due course.
