RexReranker-0.6B-FP8

Model Summary

RexReranker-0.6B-FP8 is state-of-the-art decoder-based generation reranker for e-commerce product discovery. Given a user query and a candidate product (title + optional description/attributes), it outputs a relevance score derived from the model’s token-level probability of a binary judgment (“yes” vs “no”).

Intended Use

Primary use cases

• Second-stage reranking for product search (high-recall retrieval → top-k rerank).
• Shopping/commerce assistants: selecting and ordering candidate products given natural-language constraints (size, compatibility, color, etc.).
• Offline evaluation / benchmarking of reranking approaches for product discovery.

Model Details

Model type

• Text Ranking / Reranking model
• Decoder LM architecture (Qwen3ForCausalLM)
• Parameters: ~0.6B

Training Data

This model is trained for e-commerce relevance reranking using the project’s released relevance datasets:

• Amazebay-Relevance: 6.33M rows of query–product pairs (train split ~6.29M, validation ~38k)
