Released August 20198K context≈ 6,144 words

A retrieval-focused embedding model that uses late interaction (ColBERT-style) to match queries and documents at the token level rather than compressing everything into a single vector. This gives it more nuanced matching capability than single-vector embedders, at the cost of higher storage and retrieval overhead. It operates within an 8K token context window and is part of LightOn's GTE family.

Context WindowThe maximum number of tokens a model can process in a single conversation or prompt.EmbeddingA dense numerical vector that represents a word, sentence, or concept in a high-dimensional space.Embedding ModelA model that converts text into numerical vectors that capture semantic meaning, allowing computers to understand and compare the similarity between different pieces of text.Late InteractionA retrieval technique that compares individual tokens between a query and document separately, then combines the results, rather than comparing pre-computed single vectors.RetrievalThe process of finding and returning relevant documents or information from a database based on a query.Retrieval-FocusedA model specifically trained to find and rank relevant documents or passages in response to search queries, rather than generate new text.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.
