# LightEmbed/baai-bge-base-en-v1.5-onnx

This is the ONNX version of the Sentence Transformers model BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5 for sentence embedding, optimized for speed and lightweight performance. By utilizing onnxruntime and tokenizers instead of heavier libraries like sentence-transformers and transformers, this version ensures a smaller library size and faster execution. Below are the details of the model:
- Base model: BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5
- Embedding dimension: 768
- Max sequence length: 512
- File size on disk:  0.41 GB
- Pooling incorporated: Yes

This ONNX model consists all components in the original sentence transformer model:
Transformer, Pooling, Normalize

## Usage (LightEmbed)

Using this model becomes easy when you have [LightEmbed](https://pypi.org/project/light-embed/) installed:

```
pip install -U light-embed
```

Then you can use the model using the original model name like this:

```python
from light_embed import TextEmbedding
sentences = [
	"This is an example sentence",
	"Each sentence is converted"
]

model = TextEmbedding('BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```

Then you can use the model using onnx model name like this:

```python
from light_embed import TextEmbedding
sentences = [
	"This is an example sentence",
	"Each sentence is converted"
]

model = TextEmbedding('LightEmbed/baai-bge-base-en-v1.5-onnx')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```
