Details

In our evaluation code, we currently compare our student models against models from other vendors.
We should add open source models to the comparison.

For languages that we don't already have and for languages that we already have where our quality is lower, we could consider using their training configuration, or even using them as teacher models.

https://github.com/alvations/lightyear/tree/main/lightyear/translators also has source to use Opus-MT and NNLB.

NNLB also offers already translated test sentences, so we wouldn't even need to run the models: https://github.com/facebookresearch/fairseq/blob/nllb/examples/nllb/evaluation/README.md.

We should start with the Helsinki ones, given mozilla/firefox-translations-training#117.

+1, before investing in functionality to use OPUS models as teachers, we should run a full-scale evaluation and compare them with models that we trained
