Models¶
A model in mteb covers two concepts: metadata and implementation.
- Metadata contains information about the model such as maximum input
length, valid frameworks, license, and degree of openness.
- Implementation is a reproducible workflow, which allows others to run the same model again, using the same prompts, hyperparameters, aggregation strategies, etc.

None
|
device
|
str | None
|
Device used to load the model |
None
|
embed_dim

|
Optional embedding dimension to load the model with. This is only used for models that support loading with a specified embedding dimension, and will be ignored for other models. |
None
|

experiment_name
property
¶
Create a filesystem-safe string representation of the experiment parameters.
Uses deterministic serialization and hashing to ensure stable, bounded output.
Examples:
>>> import mteb
>>> model = mteb.get_model("mteb/baseline-random-encoder", param1="test")
>>>
>>> print(model.mteb_model_meta.experiment_name)
>>> # param1_test
is_cross_encoder
property
¶
Returns True if the model is a cross-encoder.
Derived from model_type field. A model is considered a cross-encoder if "cross-encoder" is in its model_type list.
model_name_with_experiment
property
¶
Combines the model name with the experiment parameters for a more descriptive name.
n_active_parameters
property
¶
Number of active parameters. Assumed to be n_parameters - n_embedding_parameters. Can be overwritten using n_active_parameters_override e.g. for MoE models.
__eq__(other)
¶
Check equality based on name, revision, experiment_kwargs and embed_dim.
Two ModelMeta instances are equal if they have the same name, revision, experiment_kwargs and embed_dim.

__hash__()
¶
Make ModelMeta hashable based on name, revision, experiment_kwargs and embed_dim.
This allows ModelMeta instances to be used as dictionary keys. Two ModelMeta instances with the same name, revision, experiment_kwargs and embed_dim will have the same hash.

Compression Wrapper¶
mteb.models.CompressionWrapper
¶
Wraps a model to quantize the embeddings and compute results on the compressed vectors instead.
Examples:
>>> import mteb
>>> from mteb.models import CompressionWrapper
>>> from mteb.types import OutputDType
>>> model = mteb.get_model("sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
>>> compression_model = CompressionWrapper(model, OutputDType.INT8)
>>> task = mteb.get_task("NanoArguAnaRetrieval")
>>> mteb.evaluate(compression_model, task)

encode(inputs, *, task_metadata, hf_split, hf_subset, prompt_type=None, batch_size=32, **kwargs)
¶
Encodes the given inputs using the encoder, then quantizes the embeddings.
Generates embeddings for the given inputs, then compresses them based on the specified output dtype. While embeddings returned by this function are compressed to the value range determined by the output type, it returns 32- or 16-bit floats to avoid issues with potential downstream calculations and array conversions.
Parameters:

|---|---|---|---|
inputs
|
DataLoader[BatchedInput]
|
Batch of inputs to encode. |
required |
task_metadata
|
TaskMetadata
|
The metadata of the task. |
required |
hf_split
|
str
|
Split of current task |
required |
hf_subset
|
str
|
Subset of current task |
required |
prompt_type
|
PromptType | None
|
The name type of prompt. (query or passage) |
None
|
batch_size
|
int
|
Batch size |
32
|
**kwargs
|
Any
|
Additional arguments to pass to the encoder. |
{}

Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
Array
|
The encoded and quantized input in an array of the shape (Number of sentences) x (Embedding dimension). |
