Safetensors support for ct2-transformers-converter

[cyk-gaudi]

Hi,

Is there any way to leverage the "ct2-transformers-converter" utility to convert models to the safetensor format instead of the current .bin format? I'm specifically running the following command:

ct2-transformers-converter --model Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-gaa-de --output_dir ./ct2-opus-mt-gaa-de --force --copy_files generation_config.json tokenizer_config.json vocab.json source.spm target.spm --quantization float16

Even if there isn't a current way to do this within the CTranslate2 package, if there are other ways to convert the model weights to safetensor format and still have it work with CTranslate2; that would still be really helpful!

Thanks again for the support! :)
