Model Introduction

Hunyuan Translation Model Version 1.5 includes a 1.8B translation model, HY-MT1.5-1.8B, and a 7B translation model, HY-MT1.5-7B. Both models focus on supporting mutual translation across 33 languages and incorporating 5 ethnic and dialect variations. Among them, HY-MT1.5-7B is an upgraded version of our WMT25 championship model, optimized for explanatory translation and mixed-language scenarios, with newly added support for terminology intervention, contextual translation, and formatted translation. Despite having less than one-third the parameters of HY-MT1.5-7B, HY-MT1.5-1.8B delivers translation performance comparable to its larger counterpart, achieving both high speed and high quality. After quantization, the 1.8B model can be deployed on edge devices and support real-time translation scenarios, making it widely applicable.

Key Features and Advantages

• HY-MT1.5-1.8B achieves the industry-leading performance among models of the same size, surpassing most commercial translation APIs.
• HY-MT1.5-1.8B supports deployment on edge devices and real-time translation scenarios, offering broad applicability.
• HY-MT1.5-7B, compared to its September open-source version, has been optimized for annotated and mixed-language scenarios.
• Both models support terminology intervention, contextual translation, and formatted translation.

Use with transformers

First, please install transformers, recommends v4.56.0

pip install transformers==4.56.0

!!! If you want to load fp8 model with transformers, you need to change the name"ignored_layers" in config.json to "ignore" and upgrade the compressed-tensors to compressed-tensors-0.11.0.

The following code snippet shows how to use the transformers library to load and apply the model.

we use tencent/HY-MT1.5-1.8B for example

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import os

model_name_or_path = "tencent/HY-MT1.5-1.8B"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path, device_map="auto")  # You may want to use bfloat16 and/or move to GPU here
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Translate the following segment into Chinese, without additional explanation.\n\nIt’s on the house."},
]
tokenized_chat = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=True,
    add_generation_prompt=False,
    return_tensors="pt"
)

outputs = model.generate(tokenized_chat.to(model.device), max_new_tokens=2048)
output_text = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0])

We recommend using the following set of parameters for inference. Note that our model does not have the default system_prompt.

{
  "top_k": 20,
  "top_p": 0.6,
  "repetition_penalty": 1.05,
  "temperature": 0.7
}
