Released March 20221K context≈ 384 words

This model operates as a cross-encoder reranker, taking a query-document pair and outputting a relevance score rather than generating text. It's compact and efficient, built on MiniLM with 12 layers, designed to judge how well a document matches a query in English and German. The trade-off is narrow scope — it produces scores, not answers, and works within a tight 512-token window.

Glossary

Cross-EncoderA model architecture that takes a query and document together as input and directly outputs a relevance score, unlike dual-encoders that score them separately.EncoderA model component that transforms input sequences (like protein amino acids) into meaningful numerical representations without generating new sequences.RerankerA model that takes an initial set of search results and reorders them by relevance, typically used to refine results from a faster but less accurate retrieval system.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.
