</h3>


## Installation

```bash
pip install mteb
```


## Example Usage


### Using a script

```python
import mteb
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

# Define the sentence-transformers model name
model_name = "average_word_embeddings_komninos"

model = mteb.get_model(model_name) # if the model is not implemented in MTEB it will be eq. to SentenceTransformer(model_name)
tasks = mteb.get_tasks(tasks=["Banking77Classification"])
evaluation = mteb.MTEB(tasks=tasks)
results = evaluation.run(model, output_folder=f"results/{model_name}")
```

### Using the CLI

```bash
mteb available_tasks # list _all_ available tasks

mteb run -m sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 \
    -t Banking77Classification  \
    --verbosity 3

# if nothing is specified default to saving the results in the results/{model_name} folder
```

Note that using multiple GPUs in parallel can be done by just having a custom encode function that distributes the inputs to multiple GPUs like e.g. [here](https://github.com/microsoft/unilm/blob/b60c741f746877293bb85eed6806736fc8fa0ffd/e5/mteb_eval.py#L60) or [here](https://github.com/ContextualAI/gritlm/blob/09d8630f0c95ac6a456354bcb6f964d7b9b6a609/gritlm/gritlm.py#L75).

## Citing

MTEB was introduced in "[MTEB: Massive Text Embedding Benchmark](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.07316)", and heavily expanded in "[MMTEB: Massive Multilingual Text Embedding Benchmark](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.13595)". When using `mteb`, we recommend that you cite both articles.
