# # Fast-Inference with Ctranslate2
Speedup inference by 2x-8x using int8 inference in C++

quantized version of [Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-fr-de](https://huggingface.co/Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-fr-de)
```bash
pip install hf-hub-ctranslate2>=1.0.0 ctranslate2>=3.13.0
```
Converted using
```
ct2-transformers-converter --model Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-fr-de --output_dir /home/michael/tmp-ct2fast-opus-mt-fr-de --force --copy_files README.md generation_config.json tokenizer_config.json vocab.json source.spm .gitattributes target.spm --quantization float16
```

Checkpoint compatible to [ctranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2) and [hf-hub-ctranslate2](https://github.com/michaelfeil/hf-hub-ctranslate2)
- `compute_type=int8_float16` for `device="cuda"` 
- `compute_type=int8`  for `device="cpu"`

```python
from hf_hub_ctranslate2 import TranslatorCT2fromHfHub, GeneratorCT2fromHfHub
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

model_name = "michaelfeil/ct2fast-opus-mt-fr-de"
# use either TranslatorCT2fromHfHub or GeneratorCT2fromHfHub here, depending on model.
model = TranslatorCT2fromHfHub(
        # load in int8 on CUDA
        model_name_or_path=model_name, 
        device="cuda",
        compute_type="int8_float16",
        tokenizer=AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-fr-de")
)
outputs = model.generate(
    text=["How do you call a fast Flan-ingo?", "User: How are you doing?"],
)
print(outputs)
```
