gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct is the latest model in the gte (General Text Embedding) model family. The model is built on Qwen2-1.5B LLM model and use the same training data and strategies as the gte-Qwen2-7B-instruct model. The model incorporates several key advancements: Observe the configsentencetransformers.json to see all pre-built prompt names. Otherwise, you can use model.encode(queries, prompt="Instruct: ...\nQuery: " to use a custom prompt of your choice. Usage via infinity, MIT Licensed. You can use the scripts/evalmteb.py to reproduce the following result of gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct on MTEB(English)/C-MTEB(Chinese): The gte series models have consistently released two types of models: encoder-only models (based on the BERT…
