While powerful, this approach can lose nuanced, token-level details. - Multi-vector search , used in models like ColBERT or ColPali, replaces a single document or image vector with a set of per-token vectors. This enables a \"late interaction\" mechanism, where fine-grained similarity is calculated term-by-term to boost retrieval accuracy. - Higher Accuracy: By matching at a granular, token-level, FastPlaid captures subtle relevance that single-vector models simply miss. - PLAID: stands for Per-Token Late Interaction Dense Search . - Blazing Performance : Engineered in Rust and optimized for GPUs .   💻 Installation PyTorch Compatibility FastPlaid is available in multiple versions to support different PyTorch versions: FastPlaid Version PyTorch Version Installation Command ----------------- --------------- ------------------------------------ 1.6.0.2110 2.11.0 pip install fast-plaid==1.6.0.2110 1.6.0.2100 2.10.0 pip install fast-plaid==1.6.0.2100 1.6.0.290 2.9.0 pip install fast-plaid==1.6.0.290 1.6.0.280 2.8.0 pip install fast-plaid==1.6.0.280 1.6.0.271 2.7.1 pip install fast-plaid==1.6.0.271 1.6.0.270 2.7.0 pip install fast-plaid==1.6.0.270 Adding FastPlaid as a Dependency You can add FastPlaid to your project dependencies with version ranges to ensure compatibility: ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/lightonai","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/lightonai/fast-plaid/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
