> 🎯 **TL;DR**: First large-scale fully pre-trained ColBERT model using only public data. Achieves **55.43 nDCG@10** on BEIR benchmark, outperforming GTE-ModernColBERT and GTE-ModernBERT trained on closed and stronger data. **New SOTA on BEIR for models Nomic's base models are pre-trained with asymmetric prompts (`search_query:` and `search_document:`). While ColBERT has its own asymmetric mechanism via `[Q]` and `[D]` markers, we found: - **Stripping pre-training prompts during fine-tuning** causes significant performance degradation. - **Adding prompts to a model not pre-trained with them** also hurts performance. - **Even with perfect alignment**, prompts provide an intrinsic benefit: full ColBERT pre-training with prompts (55.43) vs. without prompts (54.61), no mismatch in either case, shows a meaningful 0.82-point gap. **Why do prompts help?** Our leading hypothesis is that prompt tokens act as **implicit query expansion**: extra slots that don't carry specific meaning but let the model store global information about the sequence. The original ColBERT used `[PAD]` tokens for this purpose, but modern Flash Attention implementations broke this trick (masked tokens no longer produce usable embeddings). Explicit prompt tokens may be quietly re-enabling it.

常见问题

开放权重是否代表可以免费商用?

不一定。应核对具体版本许可证、商用门槛和使用政策。自部署还会产生算力和维护成本。

这些价格是实时结算价格吗?

不是实时结算价格,而是带采集时间的来源报价快照。请到对应渠道核对当前版本、区域、折扣和计费方式。
