About
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.
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)
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
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"}'
