What is CTranslate2?

CTranslate2 is a C++ and Python library for efficient inference with Transformer models.

CTranslate2 implements a custom runtime that applies many performance optimization techniques such as weights quantization, layers fusion, batch reordering, etc., to accelerate and reduce the memory usage of Transformer models on CPU and GPU.

CTranslate2 is SOTA and is one of the most performant ways of hosting translation models at scale. Current supported models include:

• Encoder-decoder models: Transformer base/big, M2M-100, NLLB, BART, mBART, Pegasus, T5, Whisper
• Decoder-only models: GPT-2, GPT-J, GPT-NeoX, OPT, BLOOM, MPT, Llama, Mistral, Gemma, CodeGen, GPTBigCode, Falcon
• Encoder-only models: BERT, DistilBERT, XLM-RoBERTa

Speed up inference times by about 2x-8x using int8 inference in C++. CTranslate2 is SOTA for hosting translation models at scale.

CTranslate2 Benchmarks

Please note that the results presented below are only valid for the configuration used during this benchmark: absolute and relative performance may change with different settings. Tested against newstest2014 (En -> De) dataset.

The benchmark reports the number of target tokens generated per second (higher is better). The results are aggregated over multiple runs. See the benchmark scripts for more details and reproduce these numbers.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_name = "gaudi/opus-mt-run-en-ctranslate2"
model = TranslatorCT2fromHfHub(
        model_name_or_path=model_name, 
        device="cuda",
        compute_type="int8_float16" # load in int8 on CUDA,
        tokenizer=AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
)
outputs = model.generate(
    text=["XXX XX XXX XXXXXXX XXXX?", "XX XX XXXX XX XXX!"],
)
print(outputs)
