We present Sockeye 2, a modernized and streamlined version of the Sockeye neural machine translation (NMT) toolkit. New features include a simplified code base through the use of MXNet's Gluon API, a focus on state of the art model architectures, distributed mixed precision training, and efficient CPU decoding with 8-bit quantization. These improvements result in faster training and inference, higher automatic metric scores, and a shorter path from research to production.
