KielEmbed-Vision

by Tech kiel2/KielEmbed-Vision

KielEmbed-Vision is an open-weight model for sentence similarity from Tech. It has 151M parameters and a 77-token context. At 16-bit it needs about 0.4 GB of GPU memory, which fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest prices in the SAVRN Index.

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from sentence-transformers/clip-ViT-B-32.

Questions About KielEmbed-Vision

How much GPU memory does KielEmbed-Vision need?

About 0.4 GB at 16-bit and 0.1 GB at 4-bit: the weights (151M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run KielEmbed-Vision on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

What is KielEmbed-Vision's context length?

77 tokens, from the maximum position embeddings in its published configuration.
