LLM2Vec Meta Llama 3 8B Instruct mntp supervised

Llama 3

Open WeightModel weights are publicly available — can be downloaded and self-hosted

Released April 2024context N/A8B params

A specialist that does one thing: turn text into dense vector embeddings. Built on Meta's Llama 3 8B Instruct backbone, it uses the LLM2Vec approach with masked next-token prediction (MNTP) and supervised contrastive training to produce embeddings that capture rich semantic meaning. It won't chat or generate text — it's purely a transformation engine for downstream retrieval and similarity tasks.

Glossary

BackboneThe core language model architecture that forms the foundation of a larger system, in this case Llama 3.Dense VectorA compact numerical representation where most values are non-zero, used to efficiently store and compare the meaning of text.Dense Vector EmbeddingsNumerical representations of text where each word or sentence is converted into a list of numbers that capture its meaning, allowing the model to compare semantic similarity.EmbeddingsNumerical representations of text that capture semantic meaning, allowing the model to measure similarity between different words or phrases.LLM2VecA training approach that adapts a generative language model to produce high-quality text embeddings by repurposing its existing knowledge without building from scratch.Masked Next-Token PredictionA training technique where parts of text are hidden and the model learns to predict what should fill those gaps, helping it understand context and meaning.Next-Token PredictionThe fundamental task where a language model learns to guess the most likely next word (or token) based on all the words that came before it.RetrievalThe process of finding and returning relevant documents or information from a database based on a query.Semantic MeaningThe actual meaning or concept behind words and sentences, rather than just their literal characters or structure.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.Token PredictionThe core task of predicting what word or subword (token) should come next in a sequence based on previous text.Vector EmbeddingsNumerical representations of text where each word or sentence becomes a list of numbers that capture its meaning in a way computers can process.
