USER2 is a new generation of the Universal Sentence Encoder for Russian, designed for sentence representation with long-context support of up to 8,192 tokens. The models are built on top of the RuModernBERT encoders and are fine-tuned for retrieval and semantic tasks. They also support Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) — a technique that enables reducing embedding size with minimal loss in representation quality. This is a base model with 149 million parameters. To evaluate the model, we measure quality on the MTEB-rus benchmark. Additionally, to measure long-context retrieval, we run Russian subset of MultiLongDocRetrieval (MLDR) task. MTEB-rus MLDR-rus We compare only model with context length of 8192. To evaluate MRL capabilities, we also use MTEB-rus, applying dimensionality cropping to the embeddings to match the selected size. This model is trained similarly to Nomic Embed and expects task-specific prefixes to be added to the input. The choice of prefix depends on…

Compatibility and lineage

Reported languages: ru

Reported base models: deepvk/RuModernBERT-base

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.
