🌸 About Us
We build datasets, train models, run evaluations, and publish benchmarks for literary and niche-domain translation. Light novels, visual novels, galgames, web fiction — the domains where generic Machine Translation collapses into polite nonsense.
At OpenSakura, we believe in open science and reproducible results. Everything we do is done in public, with receipts.
🎯 What We Do
- 📚 Datasets — Curated, schema-validated, with documented lineage and licensing. High-quality parallel corpora designed specifically for our target domains.
- 🔬 Experiments — Fully reproducible training runs with pinned revisions, deterministic setups, and meticulously logged metrics.
- 📊 Benchmarks — Comprehensive LLM-as-a-judge pairwise evaluations, establishing Elo-style rankings for translation models.
- ⚔️ Arena — Blind A/B human evaluation platform to gather high-fidelity preference data for RLHF and DPO.

🌱 Origins
OpenSakura grew out of the SakuraLLM community — the pioneering open-source project for Japanese-to-Chinese ACGN translation models. Members of that community came together to push the mission further: broader language pairs, rigorous reproducibility, public benchmarks, and a more open development process. We stand on their shoulders and are deeply grateful for the foundation they built.
🌸 中文介绍 🌸
OpenSakura 是一个专注于特定领域大语言模型 (LLM) 翻译的开源社区项目。我们致力于构建高质量数据集、训练专属模型、执行严格评测并发布权威基准——全面覆盖轻小说、视觉小说 (Visual Novel)、Galgame、网络小说等通用机器翻译极易“翻车”的垂直领域。
🎯 我们做什么
- 📚 数据集 — 经过精心整理与严格校验，具备完整的来源追溯与明确的开源许可。
- 🔬 实验 — 保证绝对可复现的训练流程，锁定数据集与模型版本，并记录完整的训练指标。
- 📊 基准测试 (Benchmarks) — 引入基于 LLM 作为裁判 (LLM-as-a-judge) 的成对评测机制，建立科学的 Elo 排名体系。
- ⚔️ 竞技场 (Arena) — 开展盲评 A/B 人工评测，为后续的 RLHF 和 DPO 算法提供高质量的人类偏好数据。
