Research direction

Reproduce the same text and multilingual-e5-large embedder in fastembed 0.3.4 and 0.1.3 using Python 3.10.11 on Linux, then compare the vectors and available logs. The issue is complete when the version-dependent behavior is explained and the embedding output is made consistent or the compatibility difference is documented.
