OpenNMT/CTranslate2

• highreadme#1

  Reposition README's opening to explicitly mention Large Language Models (LLMs)

  Why:

  CURRENT

  CTranslate2 is a C++ and Python library for efficient inference with Transformer models.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  CTranslate2 is a C++ and Python library for efficient inference with Transformer models, including Large Language Models (LLMs).

• mediumreadme#2

  Add a 'Why CTranslate2?' or 'Comparison' section to the README

  Why:

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  Add a new section (e.g., 'Why CTranslate2?' or 'Comparison with Alternatives') that highlights CTranslate2's unique advantages, such as its specialized optimizations for Transformer models (including LLMs), C++/Python API, and quantization capabilities, in contrast to general inference engines or other LLM-specific runtimes.
