About

What sentence-transformers-e5-large is

This is a the sentence-transformers version of the intfloat/e5-large-v2 model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 1024 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search.

Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can use the model like this:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

model = SentenceTransformer('embaas/sentence-transformers-e5-large-v2')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)

Using with API

You can use the embaas API to encode your input. Get your free API key from embaas.io

import requests

url = "https://api.embaas.io/v1/embeddings/"

headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer ${YOUR_API_KEY}"
}

data = {
    "texts": ["This is an example sentence.", "Here is another sentence."],
    "instruction": "query"
    "model": "e5-large-v2"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys sentence-transformers-e5-large for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (sentence-transformers-e5-large 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":"sentence-transformers-e5-large","input":"text to embed"}'
