Ahoy Anael & Francois! Wanted to give you a heads up that James and Andrew extended the deadline from Dec 15 to Jan 5. No action needed, but just wanted to give you a heads up as they are unlikely to follow-up until January, details here.

This looks really fun. Out of curiosity, you mention that you used LLMs, was that mainly as a translation tool, or for other parts of the process?

Thanks!
We used LLM to create the texts, translate them into English and make the images.
