qwen3-8b-ft-msmarco

This model is based on Qwen/Qwen3-8B and was fine-tuned for 1 epoch on the English MSMARCO training data using FlagEmbedding.

This model is released as part of the ReasonEmbed resources. ReasonEmbed studies enhanced text embeddings for reasoning-intensive document retrieval; for more details, please refer to our paper.

Training Data

The model was fine-tuned on the MSMARCO data from hanhainebula/bge-multilingual-gemma2-data.

Training Procedure

• Base model: Qwen/Qwen3-8B
• Training framework: FlagEmbedding
• Training data: MSMARCO
• Number of epochs: 1

Tokenizer Note

Following the tokenizer modification discussed in Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B discussion #2, we modified the tokenizer so that it can automatically add the EOS token during tokenization.
