MTEB: Massive Text Embedding Benchmark

Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworksbenchmark

What changed

The ๐Ÿฅ‡ leaderboard provides a holistic view of the best text embedding models out there on a variety of tasks. The ๐Ÿ“ paper gives background on the tasks and datasets in MTEB and analyzes leaderboard results! The ๐Ÿ’ป Github repo contains the code for benchmarking and submitting any model of your choice to the leaderboard.

Why it matters

A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
