Intel® Extension for Transformers Quantized Text Embeddings

Load quantized BGE embedding models generated by Intel® Extension for Transformers (ITREX) and use ITREX Neural Engine, a high-performance NLP backend, to accelerate the inference of models without compromising accuracy.

Refer to our blog of Efficient Natural Language Embedding Models with Intel Extension for Transformers and BGE optimization example for more details.

from langchain_community.embeddings import QuantizedBgeEmbeddings

model_name = "Intel/bge-small-en-v1.5-sts-int8-static-inc"
encode_kwargs = {"normalize_embeddings": True}  # set True to compute cosine similarity

model = QuantizedBgeEmbeddings(
    model_name=model_name,
    encode_kwargs=encode_kwargs,
    query_instruction="Represent this sentence for searching relevant passages: ",
