Fits a 16 GB card at INT4

About 0.1 GB at INT4, 0.1 GB at FP8, 0.2 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache.

text2vec implements Word2Vec, RankBM25, Sentence-BERT, and CoSENT models for text representation and similarity calculation. Version v1.2.9 added multi-GPU inference and CLI tools, while the CoSENT model uses a ranking loss function for faster convergence. The shibing624/text2vec-base-multilingual model achieved an 80.12 Spearman score on English-STS-B, and the provided Word2Vec model is a 111M binary file containing 143613 words.written, reviewed, cited
  • The shibing624/text2vec-base-chinese-paraphrase model was trained on a dataset that includes s2p data to strengthen long text representation capabilities.
  • The shibing624/text2vec-bge-large-chinese model shows significant improvement in short text discrimination compared to its base model.
