Zen Embedding 8B
8B-parameter text-embedding model for retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, and dense retrieval. Part of the Zen embedding line.
Repackaged from Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-8B (apache-2.0, Alibaba Qwen). Native HuggingFace safetensors, re-hosted under the Zen embedding line. Not trained from scratch — a permissively-licensed redistribution for the OSS-clean Zen model line.
Usage
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
model = SentenceTransformer("zenlm/zen-embedding-8B")
emb = model.encode(["The weather is lovely today.", "It's so sunny outside!"])
print(model.similarity(emb, emb))
Hosted via the Hanzo gateway (api.hanzo.ai) as zen-embedding-8b.
GGUF build for CPU inference: zenlm/zen-embedding-8B-GGUF.
