MODEL PROFILE

LateOn-Code-edge

lightonai · LateOn-Code-edge

The LateOn-Code collection is composed of PyLate models optimized for code retrieval. These late interaction models are first pre-trained following the methodology of CoRNStack. These pre-trained models are then further fine-tuned on train sets of CoIR using the nv-retriever methodology to mine hard negatives while preventing false negatives. We started from the two best ColBERT models on the BEIR benchmark for their respective sizes. The first one, LateOn-Code is based on in-house LateOn model, a new version of GTE-ModernColBERT-v1 built on ModernBERT-base (also developed at LightOn). This version underwent significantly deeper training, crossing the 57 mark on BEIR, almost a 2.5-point improvement and is thus SOTA by a large margin. We'll release this base model along with training data and boilerplates in the near future, so stay tuned\! The second, LateOn-Code-edge is a smaller model based on the edge-colbert model family from mixedbread, using the smallest variant (Ettin-17M) for maximum efficiency. For more details on the training setup, please refer to our blogpost. The original CoRNStack data in a format compatible with PyLate can be found here while the fine-tuning data can be found here. Training boilerplates can be found here in the PyLate repository

Frequently asked questions

Do open weights permit free commercial use?

Not necessarily. Check the version license, commercial conditions and usage policies. Self-hosting incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Are these real-time billing prices?

These are timestamped source snapshots, not live billing prices. Check the channel for current versions, regions, discounts and billing methods.
