jina-embeddings-de is an open-weight embedding model from jinaai, listed in the AxForge catalogue. AxForge can bring it up on EU-owned hardware for you on request — with the licence handled where one is required.
About
Quick Start The easiest way to starting using jina-embeddings-v2-base-de is to use Jina AI's Embedding API. Intended Usage & Model Info jina-embeddings-v2-base-de is a German/English bilingual text 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. We have designed it for high performance in mono-lingual & cross-lingual applications and trained it specifically to support mixed German-English input without bias. Additionally, we provide the following embedding models: jina-embeddings-v2-base-de ist ein zweisprachiges Text Embedding Modell für Deutsch und Englisch, welches Texteingaben mit einer Länge von bis zu 8192 Token unterstützt. Es basiert auf der adaptierten Bert-Modell-Architektur JinaBERT, welche mithilfe einer symmetrische Variante von ALiBi längere Eingabetexte erlaubt. Wir haben, das Model für hohe Performance in einsprachigen und cross-lingual Anwendungen entwickelt und speziell darauf trainiert, gemischte deutsch-englische Eingaben ohne einen Bias zu kodieren. Des Weiteren stellen wir folgende Embedding-Modelle bereit: - jina-embeddings-v2-small-en: 33 million parameters. - jina-embeddings-v2-base-en: 137 million parameters. - jina-embeddings-v2-base-zh: 161 million parameters Chinese-English Bilingual embeddings. - jina-embeddings-v2-base-de: 161 million parameters German-English Bilingual embeddings (you are here). - [jina-embeddings-v2-base-es](): Spanish-English Bilingual embeddings (soon). - jina-embeddings-v2-base-code: 161 million parameters code embeddings. Data & Parameters The data and training details are described in this technical report. Usage <details<summaryPlease apply mean pooling when integrating the model.</summary Why mean pooling? mean poooling takes all token embeddings from model output and averaging them at sentence/paragraph level. It has been proved to be the most effective way to produce high-quality sentence embeddings. We offer an encode function to deal with this. However, if you would like to do it without using the default encode function: You can use Jina Embedding models directly f

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys jina-embeddings-de for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (jina-embeddings-de 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":"jina-embeddings-de","input":"text to embed"}'
