about this model

Jina Reranker v2 (jina-reranker-v2-base-multilingual) is a cross-encoder model fine-tuned for text reranking, scoring the relevance of a query–document pair.

Jina Reranker v2 model illustration

It processes inputs up to 1,024 tokens and uses a sliding window approach to chunk longer texts, reranking each chunk separately. A flash attention mechanism accelerates inference. The model is multilingual and has demonstrated competitiveness across benchmarks for text retrieval, multilingual reranking, function-calling‑aware and text‑to‑SQL‑aware reranking, and code retrieval.

As a hosted API on gigarouter, you can integrate this reranker without managing infrastructure—simply send queries and documents via the OpenAI‑compatible endpoint and receive relevance scores.
