Today, we release LFM2-ColBERT-350M, a late interaction retriever with excellent multilingual performance. It allows you to store documents in one language (for example, a product description in English) and retrieve them in many languages (e.g., a query in Spanish, German, French, etc.) with high accuracy. Thanks to the efficient LFM2 backbone, it also benefits from extremely fast inference speed, on par with models that are 2.3 times smaller.
