The README presents CTranslate2 as an optimised inference runtime for Transformer models.

Source: https://github.com/opennmt/ctranslate2

What it supplies: The README presents CTranslate2 as an optimised inference runtime for Transformer models.

Useful for: - Run supported models such as Whisper or Llama-style models with lower memory use.
- Convert models from several frameworks to the optimised format.

First action: - Run pip install ctranslate2.
- Convert your model with the matching converter from the documentation, then load it in Python.

Prerequisites and limits: The README text read gives no version or hardware requirements; check the documentation for supported platforms.

- Only the listed model families are supported.
- Models must be converted before use.

The README text read states no licence, so check the repository licence file. Model weights carry their own terms.

Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run.
Based on opening, supported models, converters and install README text only; later sections were not read in full. Nothing was installed or run.
