Where it's used

Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.

No API provider serves it, so its downloads are people running it themselves: 10 quantized builds and 41 Spaces.

The jina-reranker-v2-base-multilingual cross-encoder improves Serbian product search by fine-tuning on in-domain data with hard negatives from Elasticsearch. Quantize the base model to 4/8-bit and use LoRA adapters to train low-rank attention modules when VRAM is limited. Set the learning rate to 1e-5 to 2e-5 for full fine-tuning or 2e-4 to 5e-4 for LoRA, and evaluate performance using nDCG@10 and MRR@10 metrics.written, reviewed, cited
  • Document input must be truncated to a maximum of 256–320 wordpiece tokens to maintain inference speed.
  • The cross-encoder processes pairs using the specific format "[CLS] {query} [SEP] {document} [SEP]".
  • Pairwise training requires two forward passes per step to compute scores for positive and negative documents.

Jina Reranker v2-base-multilingual is a cross-encoder model for cost-sensitive multilingual RAG pipelines reranking short passages under 1024 tokens. It costs $0.05 per 1M tokens and achieves an MTEB score of 57.06 while supporting over 100 languages. The model is adequate for mid-tier relevance but lags behind v3, which improves the MTEB score to 61.94 and expands context to 131k tokens.written, reviewed, cited
