## Highlights
The **Qwen3-VL-Embedding** and **Qwen3-VL-Reranker** model series are the latest additions to the Qwen family, built upon the recently open-sourced and powerful Qwen3-VL foundation model. Specifically designed for multimodal information retrieval and cross-modal understanding, this suite accepts diverse inputs including text, images, screenshots, and videos, as well as inputs containing a mixture of these modalities.
While the Embedding model generates high-dimensional vectors for broad applications like retrieval and clustering, the Reranker model is engineered to refine these results, establishing a comprehensive pipeline for state-of-the-art multimodal search.
- **Multimodal Versatility**: Both models seamlessly handle a wide range of inputs—including text, images, screenshots, and video—within a unified framework. They deliver state-of-the-art performance across diverse multimodal tasks such as image-text retrieval, video-text matching, visual question answering (VQA), and multimodal content clustering.
- **Unified Representation Learning (Embedding)**: By leveraging the Qwen3-VL architecture, the Embedding model generates semantically rich vectors that capture both visual and textual information in a shared space. This facilitates efficient similarity computation and retrieval across different modalities.
- **High-Precision Reranking (Reranker)**: We also introduce the Qwen3-VL-Reranker series to complement the embedding model. The reranker takes a (query, document) pair as input—where both query and document may contain arbitrary single or mixed modalities—and outputs a precise relevance score. In retrieval pipelines, the two models are typically used in tandem: the embedding model performs efficient initial recall, while the reranker refines results in a subsequent re-ranking stage. This two-stage approach significantly boosts retrieval accuracy.
- **Exceptional Practicality**: Inheriting Qwen3-VL’s multilingual capabilities, the series supports over 30 languages, making it ideal for global applications. It is highly practical for real-world scenarios, offering flexible vector dimensions, customizable instructions for specific use cases, and strong performance even with quantized embeddings. These capabilities enable developers to seamlessly integrate both models into existing pipelines, unlocking powerful cross-lingual and cross-modal understanding.

> **Note**:
> - `Quantization Support` indicates the supported quantization post process for the output embedding.
> - `MRL Support` indicates whether the embedding model supports custom dimensions for the final embedding.
> - `Instruction Aware` notes whether the embedding or reranking model supports customizing the input instruction according to different tasks.
> Our evaluation indicates that, for most downstream tasks, using instructions (instruct) typically yields an improvement of 1% to 5% compared to not using them. Therefore, we recommend that developers create tailored instructions specific to their tasks and scenarios. In multilingual contexts, we also advise users to write their instructions in English, as most instructions utilized during the model training process were originally written in English.

## Usage
### Sentence Transformers
Install Sentence Transformers with `pip install sentence-transformers`, then use the model like this:
```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
# Load the model
model = SentenceTransformer("Qwen/Qwen3-VL-Embedding-8B")
# Text queries
queries = [
"A woman playing with her dog on a beach at sunset.",
"Pet owner training dog outdoors near water.",
"Woman surfing on waves during a sunny day.",
"City skyline view from a high-rise building at night.",
]
# Documents: text, image, and text+image
documents = [
"A woman shares a joyful moment with her golden retriever on a sun-drenched beach at sunset, as the dog offers its paw in a heartwarming display of companionship and trust.",
"https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen-VL/assets/demo.jpeg",
{"text": "A woman shares a joyful moment with her golden retriever on a sun-drenched beach at sunset, as the dog offers its paw in a heartwarming display of companionship and trust.", "image": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen-VL/assets/demo.jpeg"},
]
# Encode queries and documents
query_embeddings = model.encode(queries)
doc_embeddings = model.encode(documents)
print(query_embeddings.shape, doc_embeddings.shape)
# (4, 4096) (3, 4096)
# Compute similarities
similarities = model.similarity(query_embeddings, doc_embeddings)
print(similarities)
# tensor([[0.7438, 0.6556, 0.6244],
# [0.4430, 0.3323, 0.3929],
# [0.3685, 0.2310, 0.2874],
# [0.0602, -0.0162, 0.0167]])
```
By default, all inputs are wrapped with the `"Represent the user's input."` instruction via a system prompt. You can customize this by passing a different prompt:
```python
# With a custom prompt
model.encode(queries, prompt="Retrieve relevant documents for the query.")
```
### Using transformers

{"text": "A woman playing with her dog on a beach at sunset."},
{"text": "Pet owner training dog outdoors near water."},
{"text": "Woman surfing on waves during a sunny day."},
{"text": "City skyline view from a high-rise building at night."}
]
# Define a list of document texts and images
documents = [
{"text": "A woman shares a joyful moment with her golden retriever on a sun-drenched beach at sunset, as the dog offers its paw in a heartwarming display of companionship and trust."},
{"image": "https://qianwen-res.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/Qwen-VL/assets/demo.jpeg"},

]
# Specify the model path
model_name_or_path = "Qwen/Qwen3-VL-Embedding-8B"
# Initialize the Qwen3VLEmbedder model
model = Qwen3VLEmbedder(model_name_or_path=model_name_or_path)
# We recommend enabling flash_attention_2 for better acceleration and memory saving,
# model = Qwen3VLEmbedder(model_name_or_path=model_name_or_path, torch_dtype=torch.float16, attn_implementation="flash_attention_2")
# Combine queries and documents into a single input list
inputs = queries + documents
# Process the inputs to get embeddings
embeddings = model.process(inputs)
# Compute similarity scores between query embeddings and document embeddings
similarity_scores = (embeddings[:4] @ embeddings[4:].T)
# Print out the similarity scores in a list format
print(similarity_scores.tolist())
# [[0.74267578125, 0.6630859375, 0.6328125], [0.443603515625, 0.33349609375, 0.396484375], [0.3671875, 0.2354736328125, 0.289306640625], [0.060821533203125, -0.01557159423828125, 0.0165863037109375]]
