by Jina AI jinaai/jina-embeddings-v2-small-en

jina-embeddings-v2-small-en is an open-weight model for feature extraction from Jina AI, released under Apache License 2.0. It has 33M parameters and a 8,192-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 0.1 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index. It draws 1.2M downloads a month.

The easiest way to starting using jina-embeddings-v2-small-en is to use Jina AI's Embedding API. jina-embeddings-v2-small-en is an English, monolingual embedding model supporting 8192 sequence length.

SAVRN's Notes on jina-embeddings-v2-small-en

Turning English text into vectors is the whole job here, and the 8,192 token window lets a full contract or filing go in as one piece. It is 33 million parameters in four layers, stored in float32, about 523 MB on disk. At 16-bit it needs 0.1 GB of memory, so the cheapest Index setup, one MI300X at $1.85 an hour, is far more card than the job calls for; in practice it shares a GPU with a generator, and the publisher also ships ONNX and CoreML builds.

Apache 2.0 permits commercial use, modification and redistribution, provided you keep the license and NOTICE files and state significant changes, and access is open. Before committing, confirm an English-only model fits your corpus, and read the ALiBi paper listed against it for how the 8,192 length is reached. The training relations name the C4 backbone and the publisher's negation dataset.

Quick Start

The easiest way to starting using jina-embeddings-v2-small-en is to use Jina AI's Embedding API.

Intended Usage & Model Info

jina-embeddings-v2-small-en is an English, monolingual embedding model supporting 8192 sequence length. It is based on a BERT architecture (JinaBERT) that supports the symmetric bidirectional variant of ALiBi to allow longer sequence length. The backbone jina-bert-v2-small-en is pretrained on the C4 dataset. The model is further trained on Jina AI's collection of more than 400 millions of sentence pairs and hard negatives. These pairs were obtained from various domains and were carefully selected through a thorough cleaning process.

Charles Norton

Starwell is a generative model for stellarator design. Given a number of field periods, an aspect ratio and a target magnetic-gradient scale length LgradB, it samples a plasma boundary for the mhdstable problem of the ConStellaration benchmark, predicts its benchmark metrics, and lays out modular coils for it. Boundaries are SurfaceRZFourier dicts (rcos, zsin) that constellaration evaluates directly; sample also takes tau, guidance, steps and seed, and model.config.sampling holds the integrator's defaults. Coils are simsopt CurveXYZFourier coefficients for one half period with their currents, and simsopt.field.coilsviasymmetries builds the full set; limits (in metres and per metre) sets the…

A vision encoder with a runtime-selectable token budget, built to sit between an image and an LLM. A coarse 32px grid covers the whole image; a router spends extra 16px detail only on the regions that need it. Output length is 49 + 3k tokens — 49 at k=0, 121 at k=24 — so you choose the tokens/fidelity trade-off per image, at inference, with no retraining. 24.94M parameters. Trained in 6000 steps (~30 min) on 2× Kaggle T4 by distillation from google/siglip-base-patch16-224 (86M). This is a working, honest baseline, not a competitive encoder. On the Flickr30k official test split it reaches 8.95 mean R@1 against the teacher's 83.25 — roughly 10% of its teacher. Chance on 1000 images is 0.10.…
