## Model overview

| Attribute | Details |
|-----------------|------------------------------------|
| Provider | [baai](https://huggingface.co/BAAI) |
| Compatible Instances | L4 (FP32) |
| Context size | 4096 tokens |

## Model name

```bash
baai/bge-multilingual-gemma2:fp32
```

## Compatible Instances

| Instance type | Max context length |
| ------------- |-------------|
| L4 | 4096 (FP32) |

## Model introduction

BGE is short for BAAI General Embedding. This particular model is an LLM-based embedding, trained on a diverse range of languages and tasks from the lightweight [google/gemma-2-9b](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-9b).
As such, it is distributed under the [Gemma terms of use](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms).

## Why is it useful?

- BGE-Multilingual-Gemma2 tops the [MTEB leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard), scoring the number one spot in French and Polish, and number seven in English, at the time of writing this page (Q4 2024).
- As its name suggests, the model's training data spans a broad range of languages, including English, Chinese, Polish, French, and more.
- It encodes text into 3584-dimensional vectors, providing a very detailed representation of sentence semantics.
- BGE-Multilingual-Gemma2 in its L4/FP32 configuration boats a high context length of 4096 tokens, particularly useful for ingesting data and building RAG applications.

## How to use it

### Sending Managed Inference requests

To perform inference tasks with your embedding model deployed at Scaleway, use the following command:

```bash
curl https://<Deployment UUID>.ifr.fr-par.scaleway.com/v1/embeddings \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <IAM API key>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"input": "Embeddings can represent text in a numerical format.",
"model": "baai/bge-multilingual-gemma2:fp32"
}'
```

Make sure to replace `<IAM API key>` and `<Deployment UUID>` with your actual [IAM API key](/identity-and-access-management/iam/how-to/create-api-keys/) and the Deployment UUID you are targeting.

### Receiving Inference responses

Upon sending the HTTP request to the public or private endpoints exposed by the server, you will receive inference responses from the managed Managed Inference server.
Process the output data according to your application's needs. The response will contain the output generated by the embedding model based on the input provided in the request.
