Expanded API solution offers improved translations and new writing tools, enabling
businesses to embed Language AI into workflows for more effective communication and
business growth

COLOGNE, Del., Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DeepL, a leading global Language AI company, today announced the expansion of its popular API solution with two powerful new features: the DeepL next-generation (“next-gen”) language model and DeepL API for Write. The next-gen model delivers more precise, accurate translations; while the introduction of DeepL API for Write provides users access to the company’s advanced writing tools, including grammar suggestions, spelling corrections and more. Together, these enhancements provide DeepL’s fast-growing API customer network with an even more comprehensive suite of Language AI tools, improving communication, boosting efficiency and driving cost savings.

“The expansion of DeepL’s API solution with next-gen LLM-powered translations and advanced writing features is an important milestone for us as we further our mission to break down language barriers for businesses and enterprises around the world so that they can accelerate growth into new markets” said Sebastian Enderlein, CTO, DeepL. “The API is one of DeepL’s most popular solutions due to its flexibility and ease of use – it’s really become key for businesses looking to boost the quality and efficiency in their language-related processes through automation. With the DeepL API, businesses can integrate our Language AI tools directly into their own internal and external applications, such as email workflows, e-commerce platforms and more, to overcome challenges ranging from language barriers, to content localization and writing clarity. It also maintains the rigorous enterprise-grade security standards that we are known for, so that sensitive data is always protected.”

Leading brands across a variety of industries, like Deutsche Bahn, Weglot, Panasonic Connect, 24Translate and Alza, trust the DeepL API, which provides programmatic access to DeepL’s specialized Language AI technology. This allows businesses to leverage the company’s world-renowned, secure and high-quality translation—and now writing—capabilities directly for both internal and external websites and applications.

With these latest updates, DeepL’s API solution now offers the following expanded capabilities and benefits:

Significant translation quality and accuracy enhancements powered by DeepL’s next-generation LLM: API users can now access higher quality translations, saving even more time on translating and editing, with the integration of DeepL’s next-generation language model, powered by Language AI and DeepL’s proprietary LLM technology built specifically for translation. Blind tests conducted with leading linguists found a remarkable 1.7x improvement with the new LLM against DeepL’s old model for combinations involving English to Japanese and Simplified Chinese; and a 1.4x improvement for the combination of English and German. DeepL’s next-gen model is also proven to significantly outperform competitors in translation quality: in 2024, blind tests found that DeepL’s translations require fewer edits than competitors, with Google Translate needing 2x more edits and ChatGPT-4 needing 3x more edits to achieve the same quality.New writing and editing capabilities via DeepL API for Write: DeepL Write, the company’s advanced writing tool for business communications, is now available to API users through the same interface as Translate; offering a powerful solution for businesses looking to enhance the quality of their writing. Going above and beyond what is offered by common generative AI tools that auto-populate text or basic grammar correction tools, DeepL Write serves as a creative writing assistant, providing real-time, AI-powered suggestions on word choice, phrasing, style and tone during the drafting process. The addition of this tool will transform the way knowledge workers create business content – improving the accuracy and quality of everything from internal communications to customer-facing messages and contracts on a global scale.

“When my team and I were preparing for international expansion [. . .] we chose DeepL API, which turned out to be a fantastic decision. The transition was quick and easy, ‌and we felt the positive impact right away. Our proofreaders were more productive and we saved thousands in monthly operating costs. DeepL API played a crucial role in bringing our e-commerce business onto the global stage by providing efficiency and cost savings,” said Jakub Kalina, Head of Localization, Alza.

The DeepL API powered by next-gen language model is now available for translations in English, Japanese, German, Korean and Simplified Chinese, with additional languages coming soon. DeepL API for Write is also now available in German, English (British & US), Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese (Portuguese & Brazilian). DeepL API Pro users are also protected by enterprise-grade security and compliance standards and no translations for API Pro accounts are ever used to train its models.

1-800Accountant Launches Tax Savings Services Designed for 1099 Workers

Published

April 22, 2026

New offering helps independent contractors structure their business to reduce their tax burden from day one

NEW YORK, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 1-800Accountant, the nation’s leading virtual accounting firm for small businesses, announced the launch of a new service offering built specifically for 1099 workers and independent contractors. The service helps freelancers and self-employed professionals work with an accountant to select the right business setup for their income, with a focus on reducing taxes from the start.

Growth Is Outpacing Tax Readiness

Independent contractor work has grown significantly in recent years. 1-800Accountant’s client data shows sharp year-over-year growth across contractor-heavy industries, with Consulting up 17%, Construction up 10%, and Service-sector clients growing more than 200% compared to 2024. Despite this growth, many contractors continue to overpay their taxes because they operate without a formal business structure in place or the right tax election.

The gap is particularly visible in industries like Healthcare, Engineering, and Legal, where LLC adoption among 1-800Accountant clients sits at 81%, 72%, and 71%, respectively, well below the 90%-plus rates seen in higher-adoption industries like Construction and Real Estate. 1-800Accountant’s new business tax optimization service closes that gap by matching contractors with the right business type while ensuring their business is set up correctly before they file their first return.

“Independent contractors continue to be one of the fastest-growing segments of the American workforce, and they are also among the most underserved when it comes to strategic tax planning,” said Mike Savage, Founder and CEO of 1-800Accountant. “That lack of planning means that most 1099 workers don’t realize how much they’re leaving on the table. This service changes that. We’re giving contractors access to the same strategic advantages that established businesses have, ensuring the right business setup from the beginning.”

Tax Strategy Built In from Day One

These services walk clients through a structured process that includes accountant-recommended business types, registering with the appropriate state agencies, and coordinating with an accountant to ensure alignment between the structure and the client’s specific tax situation. 1-800Accountant integrates business setup for 1099 earners into a broader tax strategy tailored around each contractor’s income level, filing status, and long-term goals.

“What sets us apart is the tax strategy layer,” said Ryan Teeples, Chief of Strategy at 1-800Accountant. “What contractors and gig workers actually need are professionals to help them understand which tax setup makes the most sense for their income, their industry, and where they want their business to go. Then, we do the work to save on both their business and personal taxes. That’s what we’re delivering here.”

The service is available now to new and existing 1-800Accountant clients. Pricing starts at $19 per month (plus any government filing fees) and includes business setup evaluation, tax return preparation and filing, state registration, federal registration, simple-to-use AI bookkeeping software, and a consultation with a tax expert for onboarding and explanation of their individual tax situation.

About 1-800Accountant

1-800Accountant is the nation’s leading virtual accounting firm for small businesses and independent contractors. With a team of credentialed accountants and tax professionals, 1-800Accountant provides bookkeeping, tax preparation, tax planning, and advisory services to clients across all 50 states. The firm is committed to making professional accounting accessible and affordable for business owners at every stage.

9fin launches in APAC to expand global credit coverage

With APAC playing a bigger role in increasingly complex global credit markets, 9fin brings the news, data and AI tools professionals need to navigate volatility

HONG KONG, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 9fin, the AI-native information platform for global debt markets, has formally launched in the Asia Pacific region, giving credit professionals access to cutting-edge news, data and analysis across private and public bonds and loans.

As the 9fin team continues to grow quickly across APAC from its initial base in Hong Kong, it is supporting firms locally by providing proprietary credit intelligence, comprehensive data, and AI-powered workflow tools, all within one unified platform.

The launch comes as the tussle between public and private markets intensifies in APAC, making it more important than ever for banks, asset managers, advisors, and law firms to have visibility across the full credit landscape. While bond issuance has dropped amid geopolitical disruption, private credit activity remains robust as borrowers seek alternative financing options.

By combining deal intelligence from local sources with its extensive global credit database and AI tools, the 9fin platform gives users a comprehensive view across fragmented markets. The APAC platform includes coverage of more than 1,800 issuers and 16,000 instruments, with issuance history dating back to 2003 following 9fin’s acquisition of Bond Radar, in March 2025.

9fin is already used by more than 300 institutions globally, including KKR, Apollo, BNP Paribas, and Kirkland & Ellis. The company’s APAC buildout — supported by its $170 million Series C fundraise in March 2026 — marks the next phase of its global expansion.

Steven Hunter, CEO and co-founder at 9fin, commented: “APAC is a complex region and is becoming even more so as private markets expand and geopolitical volatility increases. The region needs a faster, smarter platform covering the full picture across bonds, loans, private credit and distressed. That’s exactly what 9fin provides. With our full platform now live in APAC, we’re giving our users the clarity to make informed decisions, faster.”

9fin’s APAC launch follows its expansion across the US, Europe, and Latin America, with CEEMEA to follow.

About 9fin

9fin is the AI-native platform for global debt markets. Founded by former J.P. Morgan banker Steven Hunter and Deutsche Bank engineer Hussam EL-Sheikh, the company combines data, analytics, and AI-powered workflows in a single platform, helping clients work smarter and faster to outperform their peers.

The company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York, Hong Kong, and Belfast and with teams across Latin America and Asia. For more information, visit 9fin.com.
