Apparently grammar can travel without a passport ๐ We trained a new neural grammar model *Tarakib* across 166 languages on top of Sawtone [1] - itself trained on nearly 400 langs. We then tested it on 28 languages that contributed no training updates to the grammar task. The surprising result: it still learned useful parts-of-speech structure based on the foundational linguistic representation offered by Sawtone. Performance varied considerably, and the transfer was not limited to close, same-script relatives but crossed writing systems. We found connections across language families, and about a quarter of the stable transfer links crossed writing systems.
This does not mean universal parsing is solved. But it suggests that Sawtone's representations contain universal grammatical clues that a shared model can reuse in languages it was never directly taught to parse.
A small step toward "spaCy for every language" โ๏ธ
๐ฅฌ LettuceDetect v2 โ span-level hallucination detection for code, tool output, and structured documents.
Hallucination detectors are trained on document QA, but agents ground their answers in source code, tool output and markdown. On code-agent answers, existing detectors reach 0.17 span-F1 and even 550B zero-shot judges at most 0.22.
We built a unified span-level benchmark โ 74,285 newly constructed examples (145K+ with RAGTruth and 14-language PsiloQA folded in), every span typed and character-labeled โ and trained two detectors on it:
It also reaches the best reported English PsiloQA IoU (0.724) and 81.8 RAGTruth example-F1, so specializing on code didn't cost general RAG performance.
it found an API key in the PostTrainBench environment that allowed it to generate synthetic training data without using GPU hours, boosting the base model by 0.4913
