 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 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.
+The project is production-oriented and comes with backward compatibility guarantees, but it also includes experimental features related to model compression and inference acceleration.

+## Internal Benchmarks
+Internal testing on our end showed **inference times reduced by 6x-10x** on average compared the vanilla checkpoints using the *transformers* library. A **slight reduction on BLEU scores (~5%)** was also identified in comparison to the vanilla checkpoints with a few exceptions. This is likely due to several factors, one being the quantization applied. Further testing is needed from our end to better assess the reduction in translation quality. The command used to compile the vanilla checkpoint into a CTranslate2 model can be found below. Modifying this command can yield differing balances between inferencing performance and translation quality.
