Description

What happened?

Great library, guys. Would love to see more Sparse Embedding Models like https://huggingface.co/Alibaba-NLP/gte-multilingual-base. Currently, the support for sparse embedding models is not as great as for dense embedding models. :)

What Python version are you on? e.g. python --version

3.11

Version

0.2.7 (Latest)
