🏎️ Today I'm introducing a method to train static embedding models that run 100x to 400x faster on CPU than common embedding models, while retaining 85%+ of the quality! Including 2 fully open models: training scripts, datasets, metrics.

We apply our recipe to train 2 Static Embedding models that we release today! We release:
2️⃣ an English Retrieval model and a general-purpose Multilingual similarity model (e.g. classification, clustering, etc.), both Apache 2.0
🧠 my modern training strategy: ideation -> dataset choice -> implementation -> evaluation
πŸ“œ my training scripts, using the Sentence Transformers library
πŸ“Š my Weights & Biases reports with losses & metrics
πŸ“• my list of 30 training and 13 evaluation datasets

The 2 Static Embedding models have the following properties:
🏎️ Extremely fast, e.g. 107500 sentences per second on a consumer CPU, compared to 270 for 'all-mpnet-base-v2' and 56 for 'gte-large-en-v1.5'
0️⃣ Zero active parameters: No Transformer blocks, no attention, not even a matrix multiplication. Super speed!
πŸ“ No maximum sequence length! Embed texts at any length (note: longer texts may embed worse)
πŸ“ Linear instead of exponential complexity: 2x longer text takes 2x longer, instead of 2.5x or more.
πŸͺ† Matryoshka support: allow you to truncate embeddings with minimal performance loss (e.g. 4x smaller with a 0.56% perf. decrease for English Similarity tasks)

Check out the full blogpost if you'd like to 1) use these lightning-fast models or 2) learn how to train them with consumer-level hardware: https://huggingface.co/blog/static-embeddings

The blogpost contains a lengthy list of possible advancements; I'm very confident that our 2 models are only the tip of the iceberg, and we may be able to get even better performance.

Alternatively, check out the models:

A new benchmark (DPAB-Ξ±) has been released that evaluates LLM function calling in both Pythonic and JSON approaches.

It shows that Pythonic function calling often outperforms traditional JSON-based methods, especially for complex multi-step tasks.

Key findings from benchmarks:
β€” Claude 3.5 Sonnet leads with 87% on Pythonic vs 45% on JSON
β€” Smaller models show impressive results (Dria-Agent-Ξ±-3B: 72% Pythonic)
β€” Even larger models like DeepSeek V3 (685B) show significant gaps (63% Pythonic vs 33% JSON)

If you're building or using LLM agents, these results suggest that how you implement function calling could impact performance - might be worth reconsidering JSON-only approaches.
