5bfbc20 . Shown as plain text with links; images open at the publisher.
The Model mlx-community/nomicai-modernbert-embed-base-bf16 was converted to MLX format from nomic-ai/modernbert-embed-base using mlx-lm version 0.0.3 .
Use with mlx#
pip install mlx-embeddingsfrom mlx_embeddings import load, generate
import mlx.core as mx
model, tokenizer = load("mlx-community/nomicai-modernbert-embed-base-bf16")
# For text embeddings
output = generate(model, processor, texts=["I like grapes", "I like fruits"])
embeddings = output.text_embeds # Normalized embeddings
# Compute dot product between normalized embeddings
similarity_matrix = mx.matmul(embeddings, embeddings.T)
print("Similarity matrix between texts:")
print(similarity_matrix)
