8B-parameter cross-encoder reranker for retrieval pipelines and search relevance — re-scores candidate passages for RAG and search quality. Part of the Zen reranker line.

Repackaged from Qwen/Qwen3-Reranker-8B (apache-2.0, Alibaba Qwen). Native HuggingFace safetensors, re-hosted under the Zen reranker line. Not trained from scratch — a permissively-licensed redistribution for the OSS-clean Zen model line.

Score query/passage pairs following the upstream Qwen/Qwen3-Reranker-8B recipe (yes/no token scoring).

Hosted via the Hanzo gateway (api.hanzo.ai) as zen-reranker-8b. GGUF build for CPU inference: zenlm/zen-reranker-8B-GGUF.
