candding
Run dense, sparse, multi-vector and reranking models from Python on Rust's candle, with no ONNX runtime. Every model in the catalog is checked against its reference implementation, and every result comes back as a NumPy array.
pip install candding
import candding
model = candding.TextEmbedding("BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5")
docs = model.passage_embed(["Embeddings map text to vectors.", "Rust is a systems language."])
query = model.query_embed(["what do embeddings do"])
print(query @ docs.T)
reranker = candding.TextCrossEncoder("BAAI/bge-reranker-base")
print(reranker.rerank("what do embeddings do", ["Embeddings map text to vectors.", "Rust is a systems language."]))
