mdbr-leaf-mt is a compact high-performance text embedding model designed for classification, clustering, semantic sentence similarity and summarization tasks. To enable even greater efficiency, mdbr-leaf-mt supports flexible asymmetric architectures and is robust to vector quantization and MRL truncation. If you are looking to perform semantic search / information retrieval (e.g. for RAGs), please check out our mdbr-leaf-ir model, which is specifically trained for these tasks. A technical report detailing our proposed LEAF training procedure is available here. The table below shows the scores for mdbr-leaf-mt on the MTEB v2 (English) benchmark, compared to other retrieval models. mdbr-leaf-mt ranks #1 on this benchmark for models with <30M parameters. See example output If you haven't already, you can install the Transformers.js JavaScript library from NPM using: You can then use the model to compute embeddings like this: See example output See here. mdbr-leaf-mt is aligned to mxbai-embed-large-v1, the model it has been distilled…

Compatibility and lineage

Reported languages: en

Reported base models: microsoft/MiniLM-L6-v2

Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.

Use and evaluate

Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.

No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
