Jina Code Embeddings 1.5B

Jina Code Embeddings 1.5B converts source code and technical text into search vectors. It supports text-to-code, code-to-code, code-to-text, code-to-completion and technical question-answer retrieval across more than 15 programming languages.

How the model works

Jina adapts Qwen2.5-Coder-1.5B for embeddings, using task-specific instruction prefixes and last-token pooling. The model accepts up to 32,768 tokens. Its default 1,536-dimensional output can be reduced to 128 dimensions through Matryoshka training. These are retrieval representations; the release does not generate a code completion merely because completion retrieval is one of its tasks.Jina Code Embeddings 1.5B model details

Use and access

The 1.5B release uses a wider embedding space than the 0.5B version. Changing between them requires compatible document and query embeddings. Jina provides Transformers, Sentence Transformers and vLLM examples, plus GGUF and MLX distributions. The weights use CC BY-NC 4.0; commercial use has separate terms.Jina Code Embeddings 1.5B model detailsJina Code Embeddings 1.5B technical overview
