How to use WindyTranslate/translate-af-es with Transformers:
# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper # Warning: Pipeline type "translation" is no longer supported in transformers v5. # You must load the model directly (see below) or downgrade to v4.x with: # 'pip install "transformers<5.0.0' from transformers import pipeline pipe = pipeline("translation", model="WindyTranslate/translate-af-es")# Load model directly from transformers import AutoModel model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("WindyTranslate/translate-af-es", device_map="auto") - Notebooks
