jina-embeddings-v5-text: Task-Targeted Embedding Distillation

Elastic Inference Service | ArXiv | Release Note | Blog

Model Overview

`jina-embeddings-v5-text-nano-text-matching` is a compact, high-performance text embedding model designed for text-matching.

It is part of the jina-embeddings-v5-text model family, which also includes jina-embeddings-v5-text-small, for better performance at a bigger size.

Trained using a novel approach that combines distillation with task-specific contrastive losses, jina-embeddings-v5-text-nano-text-matching outperforms existing state-of-the-art models of similar size across diverse embedding benchmarks.

Feature	Value
Parameters	239M
Supported Tasks	`text-matching`
Max Sequence Length	8192
Embedding Dimension	768
Matryoshka Dimensions	32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 768
Pooling Strategy	Last-token pooling
Base Model	jinaai/jina-embeddings-v5-text-nano

Training and Evaluation

For training details and evaluation results, see our technical report.

Usage

Requirements

The following Python packages are required:

transformers>=5.1.0
torch>=2.8.0
peft>=0.15.2
vllm==0.15.1

Optional / Recommended

flash-attention: Installing flash-attention is recommended for improved inference speed and efficiency, but not mandatory.
sentence-transformers: If you want to use the model via the sentence-transformers interface, install this package as well.

via Elastic Inference Service

The fastest way to use v5-text in production. Elastic Inference Service (EIS) provides managed embedding inference with built-in scaling, so you can generate embeddings directly within your Elastic deployment.

bash

PUT _inference/text_embedding/jina-v5
{
  "service": "elastic",
  "service_settings": {
    "model_id": "jina-embeddings-v5-text-nano"
  }
}

See the Elastic Inference Service documentation for setup details.

via sentence-transformers

python

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
import torch

model = SentenceTransformer(
    "jinaai/jina-embeddings-v5-text-nano-text-matching",
    trust_remote_code=True,
    model_kwargs={"dtype": torch.bfloat16},  # Recommended for GPUs
    config_kwargs={"_attn_implementation": "flash_attention_2"},  # Recommended but optional
)
# Optional: set truncate_dim in encode() to control embedding size

texts = [
    "A beautiful sunset over the beach",  # English
    "غروب جميل على الشاطئ",  # Arabic
    "海滩上美丽的日落",  # Chinese
    "Un beau coucher de soleil sur la plage",  # French
    "Ein wunderschöner Sonnenuntergang am Strand",  # German
    "Ένα όμορφο ηλιοβασίλεμα πάνω από την παραλία",  # Greek
    "समुद्र तट पर एक खूबसूरत सूर्यास्त",  # Hindi
    "Un bellissimo tramonto sulla spiaggia",  # Italian
    "浜辺に沈む美しい夕日",  # Japanese
    "해변 위로 아름다운 일몰",  # Korean
]

# Encode texts
embeddings = model.encode(texts)
print(embeddings.shape)
# (10, 768)

similarity = model.similarity(embeddings[0], embeddings[1:])
print(similarity)
# tensor([[0.8945, 0.9386, 0.9339, 0.9439, 0.7339, 0.9303, 0.9291, 0.9404, 0.9317]])

via vLLM

python

from vllm import LLM
from vllm.config.pooler import PoolerConfig

# Initialize model
name = "jinaai/jina-embeddings-v5-text-nano-text-matching"
model = LLM(
    model=name,
    dtype="float16",
    runner="pooling",
    trust_remote_code=True,
    pooler_config=PoolerConfig(seq_pooling_type="LAST", normalize=True)
)

# Create text prompts
query = "Overview of climate change impacts on coastal cities"
query_prompt = f"Query: {query}"

document = "The impacts of climate change on coastal cities are significant.."
document_prompt = f"Document: {document}"

# Encode all prompts
prompts = [query_prompt, document_prompt]
outputs = model.encode(prompts, pooling_task="embed")

embed_query = outputs[0].outputs.data
embed_document = outputs[1].outputs.data

via llama.cpp (GGUF)

Since our nano model is based on jinaai/jina-embeddings-v5-text-nano, which is not yet supported by llama.cpp, we provide our own branch of llama.cpp, which implements the necessary changes to support it for now.

To start the OpenAI API compatible HTTP server, run with the respective model version:

llama-server \
  -hf jinaai/jina-embeddings-v5-text-nano-text-matching:F16 \
  --embedding \
  --pooling last \
  --batch-size 8192 \
  --ubatch-size 8192 \
  --ctx-size 8192

Client:

curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/embeddings" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "input": [
      "Document: A beautiful sunset over the beach",
      "Document: Un beau coucher de soleil sur la plage",
      "Document: 海滩上美丽的日落",
      "Document: 浜辺に沈む美しい夕日",
      "Document: Golden sunlight melts into the horizon, painting waves in warm amber and rose, while the sky whispers goodnight to the quiet, endless sea."
    ]
  }'

Note: For the text-matching variant, always add Document: prefix in front of your input as shown above.

via Optimum (ONNX)

You can run the ONNX-optimized version of the model locally using Hugging Face's optimum library. Make sure you have the required dependencies installed (e.g., pip install optimum[onnxruntime] transformers torch):

python

from optimum.onnxruntime import ORTModelForFeatureExtraction
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import torch

model_id = "jinaai/jina-embeddings-v5-text-nano-text-matching"

# 1. Load tokenizer and ONNX model
# We specify the subfolder 'onnx' where the weights are located
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id, trust_remote_code=True)
model = ORTModelForFeatureExtraction.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    subfolder="onnx",
    file_name="model.onnx",
    provider="CPUExecutionProvider",  # Or "CUDAExecutionProvider" for GPU
    trust_remote_code=True,
)

# 2. Prepare input
texts = ["Document: How do I use Jina ONNX models?", "Document: Information about semantic matching."]
inputs = tokenizer(texts, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")


# 4. Inference
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)

# 5. Pooling (Crucial for Jina-v5)
# Jina-v5 uses LAST-TOKEN pooling.
# We take the hidden state of the last non-padding token.
last_hidden_state = outputs.last_hidden_state
# Find the indices of the last token (usually the end of the sequence)
sequence_lengths = inputs.attention_mask.sum(dim=1) - 1
embeddings = last_hidden_state[torch.arange(last_hidden_state.size(0)), sequence_lengths]

print('embeddings shape:', embeddings.shape)
print('embeddings:', embeddings)
