Hi Draco!

AFAIK, with the text2vec-hugging integration:

allows you to use any hugging face model :thinking:

So as far it is available, it will be supported.

Let me know if this helps!

We could try to load such vector embeddings using the HuggingFace so at least there is a good interface for it which is good. I would like to know tho what the planned support is for multi-vector embeddings on Weaviate as I think this is required to fully support ColVERTv2 in the longer term. Also do you know if anyone has succesffuly used BGE-M3 for dense, and sparse representations on Weaviate. Thanks

Hi!

If by multivector you mean having more than 1 vector per object, we already support that with named vectors:

I can’t help with that other BGE-M3 question :frowning:
