What was changed

The weights in this repository have been modified from the original. A full fine-tune on OPUS-100 parallel corpus data.


Method	`deep-finetune`
Tensors modified	253 of 254
Max absolute weight delta	1.254e-02
Verified	tensor-by-tensor against the upstream original, 2026-07-26

The comparison is tensor-level rather than file-level: safetensors and PyTorch .bin containers hash differently even when the tensors inside are identical, so a file-hash mismatch would prove nothing.

A single transformers build in safetensors format, loadable directly:

python

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("WindyTranslate/translate-rw-en")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("WindyTranslate/translate-rw-en")

batch = tok(["<your text here>"], return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
print(tok.batch_decode(model.generate(**batch), skip_special_tokens=True))

Other builds of this pair, including CTranslate2 INT8, are not included in this repository.

Limitations

A single language direction: rw to en.
No quality benchmark has been run on this pair. The weights are verified to differ from the original; that is a statement about provenance, not about translation quality.
Quality is not monotonic with model size or with the amount of fine-tuning applied.
