SentenceTransformer based on Snowflake/snowflake-arctic-embed-l

This is a sentence-transformers model finetuned from Snowflake/snowflake-arctic-embed-l. It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 1024-dimensional dense vector space and can be used for semantic textual similarity, semantic search, paraphrase mining, text classification, clustering, and more.

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can load this model and run inference.

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer("Rsr2425/legal-ft-2")
# Run inference
sentences = [
    '1. What technique is being used by labs to create training data for smaller models?\n2. How many synthetically generated examples were used in Meta’s Llama 3.3 70B fine-tuning?',
    'Another common technique is to use larger models to help create training data for their smaller, cheaper alternatives—a trick used by an increasing number of labs. DeepSeek v3 used “reasoning” data created by DeepSeek-R1. Meta’s Llama 3.3 70B fine-tuning used over 25M synthetically generated examples.\nCareful design of the training data that goes into an LLM appears to be the entire game for creating these models. The days of just grabbing a full scrape of the web and indiscriminately dumping it into a training run are long gone.\nLLMs somehow got even harder to use',

embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
# [3, 1024]

# Get the similarity scores for the embeddings
similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings)
print(similarities.shape)
# [3, 3]

  1. What key themes and pivotal moments in the field of Large Language Models were identified in 2024? 2. How does the review of 2024 compare to the review of 2023 regarding advancements in LLMs?	Things we learned about LLMs in 2024Simon Willison’s WeblogSubscribeThings we learned about LLMs in 202431st December 2024A lot has happened in the world of Large Language Models over the course of 2024. Here’s a review of things we figured out about the field in the past twelve months, plus my attempt at identifying key themes and pivotal moments.This is a sequel to my review of 2023.In this article:
  1. What advancements in multimodal capabilities have been observed in LLMs, particularly regarding audio and video?2. How has the competition among LLMs affected their pricing and accessibility over time?	The GPT-4 barrier was comprehensively brokenSome of those GPT-4 models run on my laptopLLM prices crashed, thanks to competition and increased efficiencyMultimodal vision is common, audio and video are starting to emergeVoice and live camera mode are science fiction come to lifePrompt driven app generation is a commodity alreadyUniversal access to the best models lasted for just a few short months“Agents” still haven’t really happened yetEvals really matterApple Intelligence is bad, Apple’s MLX library is excellentThe rise of inference-scaling “reasoning” modelsWas the best currently available LLM trained in China for less than $6m?The environmental impact got betterThe environmental impact got much, much worse
  1. What challenges are associated with using LLMs in 2024?2. How is knowledge distribution described in the context of LLMs?	The year of slopSynthetic training data works greatLLMs somehow got even harder to useKnowledge is incredibly unevenly distributedLLMs need better criticismEverything tagged “llms” on my blog in 2024
