# Jina-ColBERT-v2
Jina ColBERT v2 (`jina-colbert-v2`) is a new model based on the [Jina-ColBERT architecture](https://jina.ai/news/what-is-colbert-and-late-interaction-and-why-they-matter-in-search/) that expands on the capabilities and performance of the `jina-colbert-v1-en` model. Like the previous release, it has Jina AI’s 8192 token input context and the [improved efficiency, performance](https://jina.ai/news/what-is-colbert-and-late-interaction-and-why-they-matter-in-search/), and [explainability](https://jina.ai/news/ai-explainability-made-easy-how-late-interaction-makes-jina-colbert-transparent/) of token-level embeddings and late interaction. 

This new release adds new functionality and performance improvements:

- Multilingual support for dozens of languages, with strong performance on major global languages.
- [Matryoshka embeddings](https://huggingface.co/blog/matryoshka), which allow users to trade between efficiency and precision flexibly.
- Superior retrieval performance when compared to the English-only `jina-colbert-v1-en`.

## Usage

### Installation

`jina-colbert-v2` is trained with flash attention and therefore requires `einops` and `flash_attn` to be installed.

To use the model, you could either use the Standford ColBERT library or use the `ragatouille` package that we provide.

```bash
pip install -U einops flash_attn
pip install -U ragatouille
pip install -U colbert-ai
```

### RAGatouille

```python
from ragatouille import RAGPretrainedModel

RAG = RAGPretrainedModel.from_pretrained("jinaai/jina-colbert-v2")

docs = [
        "ColBERT is a novel ranking model that adapts deep LMs for efficient retrieval.",
        "Jina-ColBERT is a ColBERT-style model but based on JinaBERT so it can support both 8k context length, fast and accurate retrieval."
    ]

RAG.index(docs, index_name="demo")

query = 'What does ColBERT do?'

results = RAG.search(query)
```

### Stanford ColBERT
Typically, you would run the following code to index using the Stanford ColBERT library on a GPU machine. Check the reference at [Stanford ColBERT](https://github.com/stanford-futuredata/ColBERT?tab=readme-ov-file#installation) for more details.

#### Indexing

```python
from colbert import Indexer
from colbert.infra import ColBERTConfig

if __name__ == "__main__":
    config = ColBERTConfig(
        doc_maxlen=512,
        nbits=2
    )
    indexer = Indexer(
        checkpoint="jinaai/jina-colbert-v2",
        config=config,
    )
    docs = [
        "ColBERT is a novel ranking model that adapts deep LMs for efficient retrieval.",
        "Jina-ColBERT is a ColBERT-style model but based on JinaBERT so it can support both 8k context length, fast and accurate retrieval."
    ]
    indexer.index(name='demo', collection=docs)
```

#### Searching

```python
from colbert import Searcher
from colbert.infra import ColBERTConfig

k = 10

if __name__ == "__main__":
    config = ColBERTConfig(
        query_maxlen=128
    )
    searcher = Searcher(
        index='demo',
        config=config
    )
    query = 'What does ColBERT do?'
    results = searcher.search(query, k=k)

``` 

#### Creating vectors

```python
from colbert.infra import ColBERTConfig
from colbert.modeling.checkpoint import Checkpoint

ckpt = Checkpoint("jinaai/jina-colbert-v2", colbert_config=ColBERTConfig())
docs = [
        "ColBERT is a novel ranking model that adapts deep LMs for efficient retrieval.",
        "Jina-ColBERT is a ColBERT-style model but based on JinaBERT so it can support both 8k context length, fast and accurate retrieval."
    ]
query_vectors = ckpt.queryFromText( docs, bsize=2)
print(query_vectors)
```
