The model sentence-croissant-llm-base is designed to generate French text embeddings. It has been fine-tuned using the very recent pre-trained LLM croissantllm/CroissantLLMBase with the strategy of Siamese-BERT implemented in the library 'sentences-transformers'. The fine tuning dataset used is the French training split of stsb.

Usage (Sentence-Transformers)

Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can use the model like this:

python

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
model =  SentenceTransformer("Wissam42/sentence-croissant-llm-base")
sentences = ["Le chat mange la souris", "Un felin devore un rongeur", "Je travaille sur un ordinateur", "Je developpe sur mon pc"]
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
