## Available Variants

Deployment formats in this repository (subfolders):

| Variant | Description |
|---|---|
| `lora/` | **WindyStandard** — production baseline. Transformers format for GPU inference. |
| `lora-ct2-int8/` | **WindyStandard · CPU INT8** — CTranslate2 INT8 quantization of WindyStandard for CPU inference. |

### Quick usage

**Transformers (PyTorch):**
```python
from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer
tokenizer = MarianTokenizer.from_pretrained("WindyWord/translate-cpp-cpp", subfolder="lora")
model = MarianMTModel.from_pretrained("WindyWord/translate-cpp-cpp", subfolder="lora")
```

**CTranslate2 (fast CPU inference):**
```python
import ctranslate2
translator = ctranslate2.Translator("path/to/translate-cpp-cpp/lora-ct2-int8")
```

## Apps

The [Windy Word](https://windyword.ai) apps are built on this model family.
