Nomic Embed Text v1.5 (fabric)

An Apple Core AI conversion of nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5 — a text-embedding encoder that maps (input_ids, attention_mask) to a pooled, L2-normalized sentence embedding (cosine-ready). Produced by coreai-fabric and indexed by coreai-catalog.

Encoder, not a chat model. This is a single-forward encoder — token ids in, one 768-d L2-normalized embedding (1×768) out. No text generation, no KV-cache. The host owns the upstream tokenizer and pad/truncate to the static sequence length; compare embeddings with a dot product (cosine).

Use it — this needs host code you supply

The bundle is a single static-sequence graph: (input_ids, attention_mask) [1,128] in → embedding 1×768 out (mean pooling, unit-norm). You supply the upstream tokenizer and pad/truncate in your host code (Swift or Python). Token ids are int32 at the graph boundary.

pip install coreai-catalog && coreai-catalog install nomic-embed-text-v15

Requirements

• Deployment: macOS 27.0+ / iOS 27.0+, Xcode 27+. The asset serializes with minimum_os v27, so the on-device Swift runtime requires macOS/iOS 27+. A Mac on macOS 26 can convert and inspect it but not run it on-device.
• Apple Silicon.

Verification (output parity)

• Gate A (structure): passed — the bundle's layout + metadata were validated; the graph loads.
• Gate B — graph_output_cosine: 1.000000 min output cosine (median 1.000000) vs the fp32 torch sentence encoder over 8 seeded (input_ids, attention_mask), measured on apple_silicon. Certifies the export computes the SAME output as the source — a conversion-fidelity metric, not task accuracy.
• This certifies the export is numerically faithful to the source encoder — it does NOT certify retrieval quality on your corpus. Reproduce with coreai-fabric verify.
