What is it?
Turn sentences into semantic vectors for similarity search, clustering, and RAG. Combined with a vector DB like Chroma or Qdrant, you can build a search system.
What can it do?
- Sentence and paragraph embeddings
- Multilingual and Korean models
- Similarity search and clustering
- Cross-Encoder reranking
Who is it for?
Developers who want to build semantic search or RAG themselves.
Pros
- Simple to use with rich docs
- Many Korean models
- Integrates with the PyTorch ecosystem
Cautions
- Performance and dimensions vary by model
- GPU recommended for large batches
