Description

🚀 Feature Request

A C++ version of Fairseq based on libtorch is required

Motivation

Pytorch and the entire python environment are too large after packaging, so use libtorch instead. However, the previous fairseq loaded model must also be loaded in C++, but no C++ version of fairseq has been found

Pitch

Provides a C++ version of fairseq based on libtorch

Alternatives

Additional context

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research how to load a PyTorch model in C++ using libtorch, then trace the model loading code in fairseq to understand what needs to be replicated.
