omni-macos: On-Device Omni-Modal Search on Apple Silicon

Han Xiao

A search engine that embeds text, code, documents, images, audio and video into the same representation space has to run its encoder and keep its index somewhere, and almost every…

Cross-Tokenizer On-Policy Distillation via Byte-Prefix Marginalization

Hao Wang, Kun Yuan, Wenlin Zhong +4

Open-weight language models from different families exhibit complementary capabilities, motivating their consolidation into a compact student through on-policy distillation (OPD).…

jina-reranker-v3.5: An Efficient Listwise Reranker with Hybrid Attention and Self-Distillation

Christina Nasika, Feng Wang, Antonis Krasakis +1

Listwise rerankers are the discriminative core of agentic retrieval pipelines, yet production deployment demands efficiency, domain robustness, and fluency on semi-structured data…

Efficient Scaling of LLM Training with Flexible Context Parallelism

Yifan Niu, Han Xiao, Dongyi Liu +2

Scaling long-context capabilities is crucial for Large Language Models (LLMs). However, real-world data contain a large number of sequences with heterogeneous lengths. Existing tra…

jina-embeddings-v5-omni: Geometry-preserving Embeddings via Locked Aligned Towers

Florian Hönicke, Florian Hönicke, Michael Günther +6

In this work, we introduce GELATO (Geometry-preserving Embeddings via Locked Aligned TOwers), a novel approach to multimodal embedding models. We build on the VLM-style architectur…

Test-Time Compute for Frozen Embedding Models through Agentic Program Search

Han Xiao

Test-time compute is widely believed to benefit only large reasoning models, leaving small models with nothing to gain. We argue the opposite for dense retrieval, since modern smal…
