Hello! Is this repository still maintained? I'm concerned because of a huge drop off after the "change in leadership" (so to speak awhile back)...For example...

Guillaume, who used to be the lead contributor, seems to now work for Apple.

Last year, the company doing this Framework (Systran) was acquired by Chapsvision.

CTranslate2 was mainly designed as an offline inference framework, initially built for translation, and then updated to work with LLMs; it could be possible it's no longer a priority for Chapsvision to maintain such a framework as there are different alternatives nowadays.

Since Guillaume did 95% of the codebase, it also means the knowledge is lost.

I'm glad to see Guillaume is seemingly doing well, but it's sad to see that this project seems to be dying off. It really is a wonderful tool for people to implement performant translation on our own (meager) hardware.
