# MADLAD-400 Translate

Translate between 418 languages from Table 9 (Section A.1) of Google's [MADLAD-400](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.04662) 3B model.

## Requirements

- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (Python package manager)
- Python 3.12
- CUDA GPU (recommended) or CPU

## Setup

```bash
uv venv --python 3.12
uv pip install -r requirements.txt
uv pip install -r requirements-dev.txt   # local runtime (gradio, spaces) + dev tools
uv run app.py
```

The Gradio interface launches at `http://localhost:7860`.

## Tooling

```bash
uv run ruff check .             # lint
uv run ruff format .            # format
uv run ty check                 # type check
uv run pytest -m "not slow"     # 51 fast tests
uv run pytest                   # all 61 tests (slow require CUDA + model download)
```
