About

What Solon-embeddings-large-0.1 is

Solon Embeddings — large 0.1 SOTA Open source french embedding model. Instructions : Add "query : " before the query to retrieve to increase performance of retrieval. No instructions needed for passages. These results have been obtained through 9 french benchmarks on a variety of text similarity tasks (classification, reranking, STS) : - AmazonReviewsClassification (MTEB) - MassiveIntentClassification (MTEB) - MassiveScenarioClassification (MTEB) - MTOPDomainClassification (MTEB) - MTOPIntentClassification (MTEB) - STS22 (MTEB) - MiraclFRRerank (Miracl) - OrdalieFRSTS (Ordalie) - OrdalieFRReranking (Ordalie) We created OrdalieFRSTS and OrdalieFRReranking to enhance the benchmarking capabilities of French STS and reranking assessments.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys solon-embeddings-large-0-1 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (solon-embeddings-large-0-1 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":"solon-embeddings-large-0-1","input":"text to embed"}'
