Model picker rules

  • retrieval (high) → intfloat/multilingual-e5-large-instruct

    Strong multilingual retrieval with instruct tuning; good default for German RAG.

    Starkes multilinguales Retrieval mit Instruct-Tuning; solider Default fuer Deutsch-RAG.

  • retrieval (low) → intfloat/multilingual-e5-base

    Smaller footprint while keeping competitive retrieval scores.

    Kleineres Modell bei weiterhin konkurrenzfaehigen Retrieval-Werten.

  • clustering (high) → deutsche-telekom/gbert-large

    German-focused encoder; strong on monolingual clustering benchmarks.

    Deutsch-spezifischer Encoder; stark bei monolingualen Clustering-Benchmarks.

  • clustering (low) → sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-mpnet-base-v2

    Lightweight multilingual baseline for grouping German text.

    Leichtes multilinguales Basismodell zum Gruppieren deutscher Texte.

  • classification (high) → intfloat/multilingual-e5-large-instruct

    Balanced task coverage across MTEB classification suites.

    Ausgewogene Task-Abdeckung ueber MTEB-Klassifikations-Suites.

  • classification (low) → intfloat/multilingual-e5-small

    Efficient option when latency and VRAM matter more than peak accuracy.

    Effiziente Option wenn Latenz und VRAM wichtiger sind als Spitzen-Accuracy.

Methodology

MTEB aggregates task-specific scores. Retrieval uses nDCG-style ranking metrics; clustering measures group quality on German datasets. Scores are normalized for comparison on the public leaderboard. Dimension and pricing data may come from HF Hub or secondary aggregators (LiteLLM, OpenRouter) and are labeled accordingly.
