# multilingual-e5-small - LiteRT
This is a [LiteRT](https://ai.google.dev/edge/litert) (formerly TensorFlow Lite) conversion of [intfloat/multilingual-e5-small](https://huggingface.co/intfloat/multilingual-e5-small) for efficient on-device inference.

## Quick Start
```python
import numpy as np
from ai_edge_litert.interpreter import Interpreter
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
# Load model and tokenizer
interpreter = Interpreter(model_path="intfloat_multilingual-e5-small.tflite")
interpreter.allocate_tensors()
input_details = interpreter.get_input_details()
output_details = interpreter.get_output_details()
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("intfloat/multilingual-e5-small")
def get_embedding(text: str) -> np.ndarray:
"""Get sentence embedding for input text."""
encoded = tokenizer(
text,
padding="max_length",
max_length=512,
truncation=True,
return_tensors="np"
)
interpreter.set_tensor(input_details[0]["index"], encoded["input_ids"].astype(np.int64))
interpreter.set_tensor(input_details[1]["index"], encoded["attention_mask"].astype(np.int64))
interpreter.invoke()
return interpreter.get_tensor(output_details[0]["index"])[0]
# Example
embedding = get_embedding("Hello, world!")
print(f"Embedding shape: {embedding.shape}") # (384,)
```
