# translate-windy-hplt-ml-en — ml to en

Bilingual machine translation in **CTranslate2 INT8** for fast CPU inference.
Fine-tuned by **Windstorm Labs** from [`HPLT/translate-ml-en-v2.0-hplt_opus`](https://huggingface.co/HPLT/translate-ml-en-v2.0-hplt_opus).

## Attribution

## What we did

Converted from the upstream Marian release, LoRA fine-tuned on parallel data for this
language pair, merged into the base weights, then quantized to INT8.
