Our Story
Our founders Spence and John met at Google working on Google Translate. As researchers at Stanford and Berkeley they both worked on language technology to make information accessible to everyone. They were amazed to learn that Google Translate wasnt used for enterprise products and services inside the company and left to start a new company to address this need LILT.
At its core LILT has always been a machine learning company since its incorporation on March 6 2015. At the time machine translation didnt meet the quality standard for enterprise translations so LILT assembled a cuttingedge research team tasked with closing that gap. While meeting customer demand for translation services LILT has prioritized investments in Large Language Models believing that this foundation was imperative to the future of enterprise translation.
