Available Variants

This repository contains multiple deployment formats. Pick the one that matches your use case:

Variant	Description
`lora/`	WindyStandard — our proprietary production baseline. Stable, reliable, optimized for GPU inference.
`lora-ct2-int8/`	WindyStandard · CPU INT8 — CTranslate2 quantized version of WindyStandard. ~25% of the size, 2–4× faster on CPU, no measurable quality loss.
`herm0/`	WindyEnhanced — deep fine-tuned on OPUS-100, Tatoeba, and WikiMatrix parallel corpora. Measurably higher translation quality on supported pairs.
`herm0-ct2-int8/`	WindyEnhanced · CPU INT8 — CTranslate2 quantized WindyEnhanced. Premium quality, CPU-efficient.

Quick usage

Transformers (PyTorch):

python

from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer
tokenizer = MarianTokenizer.from_pretrained("WindyWord/translate-af-de", subfolder="lora")
model = MarianMTModel.from_pretrained("WindyWord/translate-af-de", subfolder="lora")

CTranslate2 (fast CPU inference):

python

import ctranslate2
translator = ctranslate2.Translator("path/to/translate-af-de/lora-ct2-int8")
