VultronRetriever family of models released on HuggingFace![R]

Thrilled to announce the VultronRetriever family of models, which were announced during Raise Summit Paris and demonstrated running Q&A and embedding documents on the iPhone, fully offline! 📱

Some highlights from the VultronRetriever model family:
🥇 Each model ranks #1 in its respective class on the MTEB Leaderboard, with VultronRetrieverPrime-8B as the global #1
📦 VultronRetrieverPrime-8B has up to 16x smaller index storage footprint and 12x higher throughput versus previous 9B-class leaders
🎯 VultronRetrieverCore-4.5B ranks second only to Prime on the leaderboard, outperforming models twice its size
⚡ VultronRetrieverFlash-0.8B outperforms models up to 5x its size, runs cool on edge devices, and indexes up to 60 images per minute, fully offline!
🐍 Deploying the VultronRetriever models with the Hydra Architecture gives you late interaction retrieval at unparalleled precision, plus generation at up to half the memory of comparable models
🧪 All models were trained on datasets with 0% cross-dataset duplication and 0% eval contamination, and show no overfitting on privately run MTEB evals
