Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Performance degradation on long texts

   Translation quality and speed can drop significantly when processing longer documents due to the inherent limitations of sequence-to-sequence models.

2. 02

   Dependency on Hugging Face Transformers library

   The model's functionality is tightly coupled with the specific version of the Hugging Face Transformers library, which can lead to compatibility issues and increased maintenance overhead.

3. 03

   Resource-intensive for real-time applications

   Running the translation model in real-time environments requires significant computational resources, potentially making it unsuitable for low-power devices or cost-sensitive cloud deployments.
