Machine translation model, ase to fr, published by Windstorm Labs.

Attribution

Derived from Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-ase-fr, licensed apache-2.0. Windstorm Labs did not train the original model. This notice provides the attribution the licence requires.

What was changed

The weights in this repository have been modified from the original. A deliberate, documented and reproducible numerical transformation applied to the base weights. It is not a training run and is not described as one.

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.

Contents

A single transformers build in safetensors format, loadable directly:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("WindyTranslate/translate-ase-fr")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("WindyTranslate/translate-ase-fr")

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: ase to fr.
• Not yet scored. No quality benchmark has been run on this model yet. 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.
