Model card
The paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2 (ONNX quantized) is a lightweight, high-efficiency sentence transformer designed for cross-lingual semantic similarity tasks. Unlike large generative models, this model focuses on mapping text from over 100 languages into a shared vector space, making it ideal for clustering, semantic search, and duplicate detection across different languages. The ONNX quantization significantly reduces the memory footprint and latency, allowing for high-throughput deployment on CPUs without requiring heavy GPU resources. For developers, this means an easy integration path for RAG pipelines or multilingual chatbots where low-latency embedding generation is critical.
