jina-reranker-v3-GGUF

GGUF quantizations of jina-reranker-v3 using llama.cpp. A 0.6B parameter multilingual listwise reranker quantized for efficient inference.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• llama.cpp binaries (llama-embedding and llama-tokenize)
• Hanxiao's llama.cpp fork recommended: https://github.com/hanxiao/llama.cpp

Installation

pip install numpy safetensors

Files

• jina-reranker-v3-BF16.gguf - Quantized model weights (BF16, 1.1GB)
• projector.safetensors - MLP projector weights (3MB)
• rerank.py - Reranker implementation

Usage

from rerank import GGUFReranker

Initialize reranker
reranker = GGUFReranker(
    model_path="jina-reranker-v3-BF16.gguf",
    projector_path="projector.safetensors",
    llamaembeddingpath="/path/to/llama-embedding"
)

Rerank documents
query = "What is the capital of France?"
documents = [
    "Paris is the capital and largest city of France.",
    "Berlin is the capital of Germany.",
    "The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris."
]

results = reranker.rerank(query, documents)

for result in results:
    print(f"Score: {result['relevance_score']:.4f}, Doc: {result['document'][:50]}...")

API

GGUFReranker.rerank(query, documents, topn=None, returnembeddings=False, instruction=None)

Arguments:

• query (str): Search query
• documents (List[str]): Documents to rerank
• topn (int, optional): Return only top N results
• returnembeddings (bool): Include embeddings in output
• instruction (str, optional): Custom ranking instruction

Returns:
List of dicts with keys: index, relevance_score, document, and optionally embedding
