LLM2Vec: Large Language Models Are Secretly Powerful Text Encoders
LLM2Vec is a simple recipe to convert decoder-only LLMs into text encoders. It consists of 3 simple steps: 1) enabling bidirectional attention, 2) masked next token prediction, and 3) unsupervised contrastive learning. The model can be further fine-tuned to achieve state-of-the-art performance.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel, AutoConfig
from peft import PeftModel
# Loading base Mistral model, along with custom code that enables bidirectional connections in decoder-only LLMs.

# Wrapper for encoding and pooling operations

# Encoding queries using instructions

)

[instruction, "how much protein should a female eat"],
[instruction, "summit define"],
]
q_reps = l2v.encode(queries)
# Encoding documents. Instruction are not required for documents
documents = [
"As a general guideline, the CDC's average requirement of protein for women ages 19 to 70 is 46 grams per day. But, as you can see from this chart, you'll need to increase that if you're expecting or training for a marathon. Check out the chart below to see how much protein you should be eating each day.",

]
