Model reference · open weights
sbert_large_nlu_ru is an open-weight embedding model from ai-forever. AxForge deploys and operates it for you on dedicated EU-owned hardware — with the licence handled where one is required.
Available as managed deployment — configured and operated for you on dedicated EU hardware, quoted per deployment.

About
The model is described in this article For better quality, use mean token embeddings.
You can use the model directly from the model repository to compute sentence embeddings:
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
import torch
#Mean Pooling - Take attention mask into account for correct averaging
def mean_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
token_embeddings = model_output[0] #First element of model_output contains all token embeddings
input_mask_expanded = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).expand(token_embeddings.size()).float()
sum_embeddings = torch.sum(token_embeddings * input_mask_expanded, 1)
sum_mask = torch.clamp(input_mask_expanded.sum(1), min=1e-9)
return sum_embeddings / sum_mask
#Sentences we want sentence embeddings for
sentences = ['Привет! Как твои дела?',
'А правда, что 42 твое любимое число?']
#Load AutoModel from huggingface model repository
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ai-forever/sbert_large_nlu_ru")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("ai-forever/sbert_large_nlu_ru")
#Tokenize sentences
encoded_input = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=24, return_tensors='pt')
#Compute token embeddings
with torch.no_grad():
model_output = model(**encoded_input)
#Perform pooling. In this case, mean pooling
sentence_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])

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