 Arctic-Embed is a suite of text embedding models that focuses on creating high-quality retrieval models optimized for performance.
 
 
-The `arctic-text-embedding` models achieve **state-of-the-art performance on the MTEB/BEIR leaderboard** for each of their size variants. Evaluation is performed using these [scripts](https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/arctic-embed/tree/main/src). As shown below, each class of model size achieves SOTA retrieval accuracy when compared to other top models.

 The models are trained by leveraging existing open-source text representation models, such as bert-base-uncased, and are trained in a multi-stage pipeline to optimize their retrieval performance. First, the models are trained with large batches of query-document pairs where negatives are derived in-batch—pretraining leverages about 400m samples of a mix of public datasets and proprietary web search data. Following pretraining models are further optimized with long training on a smaller dataset (about 1m samples) of triplets of query, positive document, and negative document derived from hard harmful mining. Mining of the negatives and data curation is crucial to retrieval accuracy. A detailed technical report will be available shortly.

 ### Using Huggingface transformers
 
 
-To use an arctic-embed model, you can use the transformers package, as shown below. For optimal retrieval quality, ensure that you use the CLS token as the embedding for each portion of text and use the query prefix below (just on the query).
