AuroLA-Omni-3B

AuroLA-Omni-3B is a BF16 omni-modal embedding model built from both Qwen2.5-Omni-3B and AuroLA-3B. It supports text, image, audio, and video inputs through a SentenceTransformers-compatible checkpoint layout.

Usage

SentenceTransformers

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

        "torch_dtype": torch.bfloat16,
        "attn_implementation": "sdpa",  # use "flash_attention_2" if flash-attn is installed
    },
)

    "video": {"max_pixels": 64 * 28 * 28, "do_sample_frames": True, "fps": 1},

Transformers

When using raw Transformers, use the sentence_transformers chat template explicitly and take the last non-padding hidden state.
