AI’s fluency in other languages hides a Western worldview that can mislead users − a scholar of Indonesian society explains | The-14

AI speaks many languages but reflects a Western worldview, risking cultural misguidance, says scholar Gareth Barkin on Indonesian society.

Allen AI가 개발한 다국어 OCR 벤치마크 'OlmOCR-Bench'가 Hugging Face의 공식 벤치마크 데이터세트로 공개되었습니다. 이로써 다양한 OCR 모델의 성능을 표준화된 환경에서 비교·평가할 수 있게 되어, 다국어 문자 인식 연구에 중요한 기준을 제시합니다.

I tried Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct.Q6_K locally with Ollama as the loader, asking it to create a simple Snake game in Python with Pygame and as an extra challenge, the instructions were given in German.

The game works well: the snake grows correctly, the grid and colors are fine. I just had to give the model a little nudge in two places:

- Don’t change the food color every frame
- Avoid recursive gameLoop() for "Play Again"

Qwen2.5 is a great co-pilot that handles most of the work, leaving only minor bugs to correct. German works surprisingly well ("Schlankkörpers" instead of "Schlangenkörper" does not matter, such errors can also occur in large models from time to time...) even though the main language is English. The model supports many programming languages such as: Python, C, C++, Java, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Bash, SQL… and more.

Conclusion: It still doesn't work completely without programming knowledge, but as a local assistant Qwen2.5-Coder is excellent.

btw my prompt was: "write the game again."

Video workflow:

- Recorded with OBS
- Edited in Kdenlive
- Transcoded with VAAPI (H.264)

No cloud, real hardware.
Everything runs on Linux + Text Generation Web UI (FOSS), so anyone can set this up.
No GPU? No problem, you can also run it using PyTorch’s CPU backend, just much slower.

Gemini in Google Sheets doesn’t speak Croatian. It barely speaks British English. Still manually correcting “prioritize” → “prioritise” like it’s 1999. Global AI, local problems. #GoogleSheets #Gemini #AI #Croatian #BritishEnglish #LanguageMatters #MultilingualAI #LLM #FutureOfWork #GoogleAI

Claude Opus 4.5 tops SWE‑bench in 7 of 8 languages, beating Sonnet 4.5 by 15%. The win spans Java, Python and other major stacks, showing Anthropic’s multilingual edge in AI‑assisted coding.
