Qdrant 1.10: Boosting Multi-Vector Representations

Qdrant, the vector database, recently released version 1.10 with some egg-citing new features! The star of the show? Support for multi-vector representations. This update is set to enhance retrieval quality and enable late interaction models like ColBERT. It's like giving your vector search a pair of super-powered binoculars!

With this update, you can now adapt regular dense embedding models for late interaction by removing the pooling step and using token-level embeddings for both retrieval and reranking. It's like teaching your AI to look at the finer details before making a decision!

💬 Have any of you experimented with multi-vector representations? How do you think this will impact your AI projects? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Microsoft's Phi-3.5 Release

The Microsoft Phi team has released Phi-3.5 in three different flavors:

Mini (3.8B)
MoE (16x3.8B)
Vision (4.2B)

These models are remarkably sample efficient, which means they can learn a lot from a little data. It's like they're the smart ducklings of the AI world!
