Description

Which model would you like to support?

HuggingFace Link: https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-embedding-small-english-r2

ONNX Weights Link: https://huggingface.co/onnx-community/granite-embedding-small-english-r2-ONNX

What are the main advantages of this model?

It is a highly popular, lightweight embedding model that performs exceptionally well on the MTEB leaderboard for its tiny size (under 50M parameters). It's a great fit for FastEmbed's goal of fast, serverless embeddings.

Note: I have already implemented this, added it to the builtin sentence embeddings registry, and verified the canonical test values locally. I will be opening a Pull Request to address this immediately!

Research direction

Start at the builtin sentence embeddings registry and review the existing support entries for the linked Hugging Face model. Run the canonical embedding test values to confirm the granite-embedding-small-english-r2 integration matches the expected results.
