WeMM-Embedding-4B is a universal multimodal embedding model built on Qwen3.5. It accepts text, images, videos, visual documents, and interleaved multimodal inputs, and returns a 2,560-dimensional L2-normalized embedding. Audio input is not supported.
Use any subset of the content items to encode text, image, or video independently.

Each input is a string, a URL or path, a PIL.Image, or a dict combining image,
video, and text keys. Chat messages such as
{"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "image", "image": ...}, {"type": "text", "text": ...}]}
are also accepted, which is the way to interleave several images or videos in one input.
Results on 78 datasets from Table 1 of the technical report. Image and video tasks use Hit@1, while visual-document tasks use NDCG@5. Higher is better.
