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.

Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 0.2 GB at INT4, 0.3 GB at FP8, 0.7 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

Weights, every dated article, and repo commits on one rail.
Teal is the weights (2024-06-19), amber triangles are 1 dated article (each links to it), grey ticks are repo commits.
38 derivatives on the Hub. Which build to run, by runtime: the most downloaded in each class.
From the Hugging Face model tree; quantized builds in teal, fine-tunes, merges and adapters in greys.
Everything else, folded: the full tables, every source.
jina-reranker-v2-base-multilingual is a 278M parameter transformer-based cross-encoder designed for multilingual text reranking tasks.[1][2] The model supports a context length of up to 1024 tokens and is released under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license.[3][4]
Generated 2026-10-07 15:04 UTC by parasail-gemma-4-26b-a4b-it; each numeral points at the fact it rests on. Not a verdict.
Labels are evidence, not verdicts: measured a third-party leaderboard row for this model; author-reported a number the model author published in the card or eval files; structural a deterministic signal from the name, config or chat template, or a decision-model estimate. Each chip links to its source. All use cases.
