Releasing zeroentropy/zerank-2

In search engines, rerankers are crucial for improving the accuracy of your retrieval system.

However, SOTA rerankers are closed-source and proprietary. At ZeroEntropy, we've trained a SOTA reranker outperforming closed-source competitors, and we're launching our model here on HuggingFace.

This reranker outperforms proprietary rerankers such as cohere-rerank-v3.5 and gemini-2.5-flash across a wide variety of domains, including finance, legal, code, STEM, medical, and conversational data.

At ZeroEntropy we've developed an innovative multi-stage pipeline that models query-document relevance scores as adjusted Elo ratings. See our Technical Report (Coming soon!) for more details.

This model is released under a non-commercial license. If you'd like a commercial license, please contact us at contact@zeroentropy.dev.

| Property | Value | |---|---| | Parameters | 4B | | Context Length | 32,768 tokens (32k) | | Base Model | Qwen/Qwen3-4B | | License | CC-BY-NC-4.0 |

How to Use

from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder

model = CrossEncoder("zeroentropy/zerank-2", trust_remote_code=True)

query_documents = [
    ("What is 2+2?", "4"),
    ("What is 2+2?", "The answer is definitely 1 million"),
]

scores = model.predict(query_documents)
print(scores)

The model can also be inferenced using ZeroEntropy's /models/rerank endpoint, and on AWS Marketplace.
