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.

Served by 1 API provider; 2 quantized builds for local use; a big base for builders (426 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).

Will it fit?

Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method

Fits a 16 GB card at INT4

About 0.1 GB at INT4, 0.1 GB at FP8, 0.3 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

savrn.com1,581 words
paraphrase-mpnet-base-v2 is an open-weight sentence similarity model from Sentence Transformers that maps text to a 768-dimensional vector space with 109M parameters. It requires about 0.3 GB of GPU memory at 16-bit precision and features a 514-token context, released under the Apache License 2.0 on March 2, 2022.written, reviewed, cited
  • The model requires a 20% memory buffer for runtime and context beyond the base weight size.
  • Documents exceeding the 514-token limit must be split into chunks before embedding.
  • The model was last updated with new weights on August 19, 2025.
savrn.com2,143 words
all-mpnet-base-v2 and paraphrase-mpnet-base-v2 are both 109M parameter sentence similarity models released under Apache License 2.0. They require identical GPU resources, needing about 0.3 GB of memory at 16-bit precision on a single MI300X instance costing $1.85 an hour. The models differ in architecture, using MPNetForMaskedLM versus MPNetModel, and repository sizes of 3.8 GB versus 4.3 GB.written, reviewed, cited
  • Benchmark conditions for all-mpnet-base-v2 results are not established or stated.

paraphrase-mpnet-base-v2 is a 109M parameter sentence transformer model licensed under Apache 2.0 that generates 768-dimensional embeddings for semantic search and clustering. The architecture processes input up to 512 tokens using mean pooling and has achieved over 735,000 downloads in production environments.written, reviewed, cited
exa.ai2025-09-14about the paraphrase family210 words
A study evaluates transformer models for paraphrase detection using the Microsoft Research Paraphrase Corpus. MPNet (all-mpnet-base-v2) outperforms BERT (bert-base-nli-mean-tokens) and RoBERTa (all-roberta-large-v1) when paired with cosine similarity, achieving the highest accuracy of 75.6% and an F1-score of 0.836 at an optimized threshold of 0.671. BERT and RoBERTa exhibited greater sensitivity to the choice of similarity metric, with optimal thresholds varying widely between 0.334 and 0.867.written, reviewed, cited
