all-MiniLM-L6-v2
An all-MiniLM-L6-v2 is a SentenceTransformers pre-trained model (pre-trained sentence embedding model for SentenceTransformers) that maps sentences and paragraphs to a 384-dimensional sentence embedding.
- Context:
- It can (typically) have Model Size of: ~80MB.
- It can (typically) produce embeddings in milliseconds, enabling real-time applications.
- It can (typically) produce 384-dimensional dense vectors.
- It can (typically) handle sequences up to 256 tokens, optimizing for both short and moderate-length texts.
- It can support usage both with and without the sentence-transformers package, providing flexibility in implementation.
- It can be trained using a self-supervised contrastive learning objective on a dataset comprising over 1 billion sentence pairs.
- It can be fine-tuned from the pretrained microsoft/mpnet-base model (to enhance its sentence embedding capabilities).
- It can have been developed during a community week using JAX/Flax for NLP & CV.

- QUOTE: The all-* models were trained on all available training data (more than 1 billion training pairs) and are designed as general purpose models. The all-mpnet-base-v2 model provides the best quality, while all-MiniLM-L6-v2 is 5 times faster and still offers good quality.
