About
ONNX port of sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 adjusted to return attention weights.
This model is intended to be used for BM42 searches.
Here's an example of performing inference using the model with FastEmbed.
Note: This model is supposed to be used with Qdrant. Vectors have to be configured with Modifier.IDF.
from fastembed import SparseTextEmbedding
documents = [
"You should stay, study and sprint.",
"History can only prepare us to be surprised yet again.",
]
model = SparseTextEmbedding(model_name="Qdrant/bm42-all-minilm-l6-v2-attentions")
embeddings = list(model.embed(documents))

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys all-minilm-l6-v2-with-attentions for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (all-minilm-l6-v2-with-attentions below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/embeddings \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"all-minilm-l6-v2-with-attentions","input":"text to embed"}'
