What is EVIE 8B?

EVIE 8B is a visual-document retrieval model that scores page relevance using multiple vectors and late interaction.

A different retrieval representation

EVIE encodes queries and page images as multiple vectors and uses late-interaction scoring, rather than producing one document vector for a conventional cosine-similarity index. The 8B Apache-licensed checkpoint uses 4096-dimensional token vectors. This larger checkpoint uses higher-dimensional token vectors. Compare difficult page queries against the smaller model and include the extra index storage and scoring work in the decision.

Evaluate page relevance

Build a collection with tables, figures and text-rich pages, then label the pages needed to answer realistic questions. Include queries that refer to a chart relationship or a value’s row and column. Assess retrieval before asking a language model to compose an answer. A relevant-looking page can still be the wrong source for a particular quantity.

Serving and indexing

Use a retrieval engine that supports the documented multi-vector representation and MaxSim-style scoring. A single-vector database path is not automatically a drop-in replacement. Keep query encoding, page preprocessing, dimensions and compression settings aligned across the index and application. Measure retrieval latency and storage at the expected collection size.

The model returns retrieval representations and scores, not prose. If an answer-generation stage follows retrieval, keep references to the actual selected pages and evaluate that stage separately. Changes in scoring backend or numeric precision should be checked against the same labelled query set.

Tasks and inputs

EVIE 8B is listed for Embeddings, Visual document retrieval. It accepts text, image and produces embedding. Use the publisher’s input format and preprocessing for your chosen deployment.

Capacity and cost

Evaluate retrieval over a labelled query set. Keep the encoder, vector dimensions and index settings consistent.

Choosing a deployment

The weights are downloadable under Apache 2.0. Check runtime support and size the complete model and working context for your expected concurrency.

These records share a directory category. Check the source card, output type and deployment requirements before treating a model as a replacement.
