Universal multimodal multilingual embeddings with task-specific LoRA adapters
jinaai/jina-embeddings-v4mixpeek://image_extractor@v1/jina_embeddings_v4Overview
Jina Embeddings v4 is a 3.8B-parameter multimodal embedding model built on the Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct backbone. It unifies text and image representations through a shared pathway, supporting both single-vector (2048-dim, truncatable to 128) and multi-vector (128-dim per token) output modes for late-interaction retrieval.
Three task-specific LoRA adapters (60M parameters each) optimize performance for retrieval, text-matching, and code search without modifying the frozen backbone. On Mixpeek, jina-embeddings-v4 powers cross-modal search across documents with tables, charts, and mixed-media content, excelling where visual layout matters as much as text.
Architecture
Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct backbone with vision encoder for image-to-token conversion. Dual output modes: single-vector (2048-dim via mean pooling) and multi-vector (128-dim per token via projection layers). Three frozen LoRA adapters (60M each) for retrieval, text-matching, and code search tasks.
Mixpeek SDK Integration
// No extractor parameter takes a Hugging Face model id (checked against
// GET /v1/discovery/extractors, which returns 13), so jina-embeddings-v4 runs
// on your side and the output is upserted through POST
// /v1/namespaces/{namespace_id}/documents/upsert. On Enterprise the other
// path is to upload the weights instead: POST /v1/namespaces/{id}/models
// accepts the huggingface format and a custom plugin loads them.

- Multimodal: text and image in a shared embedding space
- 2048-dimensional single-vector or 128-dim multi-vector output
- Task-specific LoRA adapters for retrieval, matching, and code
- Matryoshka dimensions (2048 down to 128)
- Strong on visually rich documents: tables, charts, diagrams
