gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct

gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct is the latest model in the gte (General Text Embedding) model family. The model is built on Qwen2-1.5B LLM model and use the same training data and strategies as the gte-Qwen2-7B-instruct model.

The model incorporates several key advancements:

• Integration of bidirectional attention mechanisms, enriching its contextual understanding.
• Instruction tuning, applied solely on the query side for streamlined efficiency
• Comprehensive training across a vast, multilingual text corpus spanning diverse domains and scenarios. This training leverages both weakly supervised and supervised data, ensuring the model's applicability across numerous languages and a wide array of downstream tasks.

Model Information

• Model Size: 1.5B
• Embedding Dimension: 1536
• Max Input Tokens: 32k

Requirements

transformers>=4.39.2
flash_attn>=2.5.6

Usage

Sentence Transformers

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

model = SentenceTransformer("Alibaba-NLP/gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct", trust_remote_code=True)
# In case you want to reduce the maximum length:
model.max_seq_length = 8192

queries = [
    "how much protein should a female eat",
    "summit define",
]
documents = [
    "As a general guideline, the CDC's average requirement of protein for women ages 19 to 70 is 46 grams per day. But, as you can see from this chart, you'll need to increase that if you're expecting or training for a marathon. Check out the chart below to see how much protein you should be eating each day.",
    "Definition of summit for English Language Learners. : 1  the highest point of a mountain : the top of a mountain. : 2  the highest level. : 3  a meeting or series of meetings between the leaders of two or more governments.",
]

query_embeddings = model.encode(queries, prompt_name="query")
document_embeddings = model.encode(documents)

scores = (query_embeddings @ document_embeddings.T) * 100
print(scores.tolist())

Observe the config_sentence_transformers.json to see all pre-built prompt names. Otherwise, you can use model.encode(queries, prompt="Instruct: ...\nQuery: " to use a custom prompt of your choice.

Evaluation

MTEB & C-MTEB

You can use the scripts/eval_mteb.py to reproduce the following result of gte-Qwen2-1.5B-instruct on MTEB(English)/C-MTEB(Chinese):

GTE Models

The gte series models have consistently released two types of models: encoder-only models (based on the BERT architecture) and decode-only models (based on the LLM architecture).

Cloud API Services

In addition to the open-source GTE series models, GTE series models are also available as commercial API services on Alibaba Cloud.

• Embedding Models: Three versions of the text embedding models are available: text-embedding-v1/v2/v3, with v3 being the latest API service.
• ReRank Models: The gte-rerank model service is available.

Note that the models behind the commercial APIs are not entirely identical to the open-source models.

Community support

Fine-tuning

GTE models can be fine-tuned with a third party framework SWIFT.
