multilingual-e5-base is an embedding model for sentence similarity and retrieval from intfloat, published on Hugging Face as intfloat/multilingual-e5-base. The recommended 1.1 GB file needs at least 8 GB of memory (a file size estimate, not a tested run). Hugging Bay hosts 8 files for this model. License: MIT.

Can I run multilingual-e5-base on my computer?
It depends on your memory, processor, file format and runtime. A download is not confirmed by the current file evidence; inspect the file record before trying it. A file-size fit is an estimate, not a successful run or speed promise. Read the license before use.
multilingual-e5-base is an embedding model for sentence similarity and retrieval. Model weights are learned parameters; a runtime loads them. A hosted file is an individual file Hugging Bay can serve. SHA-256 identifies exact file bytes. The availability date above applies to this file record, not the upstream metadata update date.

Key facts
- Catalog record
- Summarizes upstream metadata; it is not itself a download or run receipt.
- File evidence
- Lists exact filenames, availability and any recorded SHA-256 for individual files.
- Run evidence
- Reports measured results only when a receipt exists for named file bytes and a setup; otherwise unmeasured.
- Checksum scope
- SHA-256 fingerprints one file’s bytes; it does not prove safety, quality or a multi-file bundle.
Evidence you can inspect (plain text)
- This page’s quick answer names the file record for hf-model-intfloat-multilingual-e5-base.
- Open /artifact/hf-model-intfloat-multilingual-e5-base/files for exact filenames, availability and any recorded SHA-256 for this model.
- Open /evidence/artifacts/hf-model-intfloat-multilingual-e5-base for run-readiness evidence tied to that record; absent receipts stay unmeasured.
- Open /api/artifacts/hf-model-intfloat-multilingual-e5-base/card.md for machine-readable source facts (not a runtime test).
- A matching checksum on this page fingerprints only the named bytes shown in file evidence.
Unmeasured states are stated explicitly; this page does not invent run scores or compatibility guarantees.
Which date applies to which fact
- File availability check:
- Committed page-copy sources:
- Upstream model metadata: Dates on artifact records when shown; not implied by page-copy revision
- Run receipts: Only on /evidence pages when recorded; otherwise unmeasured
Page-copy revision (Updated line above) identifies committed text sources, not upstream model edits or test outcomes.
Requirements and source record
intfloat/multilingual-e5-baseContent controls: not assessed.
The catalog lists this model for checking whether two sentences mean similar things. Catalog sources: license label, model card license, task label, model card task.
This model is a multilingual text embedding model with 12 layers and a 768 dimensional embedding size. It was initialized from xlm roberta base, trained on multilingual datasets, supports 100 languages, and truncates long texts to 512 tokens.

Where this number comes from
No eligible GGUF files are listed in this view. Check the file list for other formats.
Disk space on this computer is not measured.
File size multiplied by 1.3 provides an estimate of memory needed. Runtime, context length and other apps may need more. This is not a tested run.
Use another tool
Download a compatible GGUF file first. Tool and model compatibility vary.
- Ollama: write a Modelfile with FROM pointing to the GGUF, then run
ollama create my-model -f Modelfileandollama run my-model. - llama.cpp: install llama.cpp and load the GGUF with
llama-cli -mfollowed by its file path; use the model’s chat template if available. - LM Studio: import the GGUF from the downloaded file and load it in the app.

File checks and computer fit
File pattern scans
Automated file-pattern scans flagged nothing; not a safety guarantee. 8 hosted files carry a published SHA-256 you can re-hash. The machine-readable verdict is at /api/artifacts/hf-model-intfloat-multilingual-e5-base/safety on Hugging Bay.
Will intfloat/multilingual-e5-base run on my computer?
We can’t check the fit; we don’t know your machine. We don’t have your machine’s specs, so no check ran and no verdict is shown. Answer two quick questions and we’ll estimate, from the memory you tell us, whether it fits your machine. Or skip it; you can still download; fit isn’t checked.
