Why ModelFront supports OpenLoc

ModelFront provides AI to check and fix AI translations while keeping human quality. ModelFront provides outcome-based pricing, so it's aligned with localization teams getting better AI outcomes.

OpenLoc is free, and ModelFront provides OpenLoc hosting and support at cost.

"Think of it like Google supporting Chrome and Android. You're free to use any search engine, so Google has to keep being the best search engine. Likewise, you're free to use any AI for QE and APE in OpenLoc, so ModelFront has to keep being the best AI for QE and APE. It's our main and only business."

Adam Bittlingmayer, CEO and co-founder of ModelFront
