Translation runs in one direction only: Darja → English. It is a fine-tune of Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-tc-big-ar-en and is part of DarjaCore, an open research effort to build datasets, translation models and tools for Algerian Darja. Standard Arabic translation models handle Modern Standard Arabic well but struggle with Darja's vocabulary, French loanwords, spelling variation and informal social-media style. This model was adapted to that register. A quantized CTranslate2 version for fast CPU inference is available at DarjaCore/darjacore-mt-base-ct2-int8. Requirements: pip install transformers torch sentencepiece. Installing sacremoses is optional and only silences a tokenizer warning. The evaluation numbers below were produced with numbeams=4 and maxnewtokens=128. Different decoding settings will give slightly different outputs. For CPU deployment, use the int8 CTranslate2 conversion. It uses much less memory and decodes considerably…

Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.
Use and evaluate
Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.
No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
