OpusMT-Zh-En: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

OpusMT Chinese to English translation model is a state-of-the-art neural machine translation system designed for translating Chinese text into English. This model is based on the Marian transformer architecture and has been optimized for edge inference by splitting into encoder and decoder components with modified attention mechanisms. It exhibits robust performance for real-world translation tasks, making it highly reliable for practical applications. The model supports input sequences up to 256 tokens and can generate English translations with high accuracy.

This is based on the implementation of OpusMT-Zh-En found here. This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.

Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. Sign up to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.

Deploying OpusMT-Zh-En on-device

This model is compatible with the Qualcomm Voice AI SDK. Download the SDK from the Qualcomm Package Manager to deploy this model on-device.

Getting Started

There are two ways to deploy this model on your device:

Option 1: Download Pre-Exported Models

Below are pre-exported model assets ready for deployment.

For more device-specific assets and performance metrics, visit OpusMT-Zh-En on Qualcomm® AI Hub.

Option 2: Export with Custom Configurations

Use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models Python library to compile and export the model with your own:

• Custom weights (e.g., fine-tuned checkpoints)
• Custom input shapes
• Target device and runtime configurations

This option is ideal if you need to customize the model beyond the default configuration provided here.

See our repository for OpusMT-Zh-En on GitHub for usage instructions.
