| 256 | 100% | 100% |
| 512 | 100% | 100% |
| 1024 | 100% | 100% |
| 2048 | 100% | 100% |
| 4096 | 0% | 0% |
| 8192 | 0% | 0% |

**Summary**: Perfect retrieval up to 2048 tokens. Long-range capability improved from baseline ~33% to **50%** (averaged across all distances ≥1024).

## Usage

### Basic Usage

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("llm-semantic-router/mmbert-32k-yarn")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("llm-semantic-router/mmbert-32k-yarn")

# Multilingual MLM example
text = "The capital of France is <mask>."
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)

mask_idx = (inputs["input_ids"] == tokenizer.mask_token_id).nonzero()[0, 1]
logits = outputs.logits[0, mask_idx]
top5 = tokenizer.decode(logits.topk(5).indices)
print(top5)  # ['Paris', 'Strasbourg', 'Nice', 'Brussels', 'Lyon']
```

### Long Context Usage (32K tokens)

```python
# Process long documents (up to 32K tokens)
long_document = "..." * 30000  # Your long text in any of 1800+ languages
inputs = tokenizer(
    long_document, 
    return_tensors="pt", 
    max_length=32768, 
    truncation=True
)
outputs = model(**inputs)
```

### Feature Extraction

```python
import torch

# Get embeddings for downstream tasks
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs, output_hidden_states=True)
    # Use last hidden state or pooled output
    embeddings = outputs.hidden_states[-1].mean(dim=1)  # Mean pooling
```

## ONNX Runtime Usage

An ONNX export is available for high-performance inference with ONNX Runtime.

### Python

```python
import onnxruntime as ort
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
import numpy as np

# Load tokenizer and ONNX model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("llm-semantic-router/mmbert-32k-yarn")
sess = ort.InferenceSession(
    "onnx/model.onnx",  # or download from HF
    providers=['ROCmExecutionProvider', 'CUDAExecutionProvider', 'CPUExecutionProvider']
)

# Inference
text = "What is the weather like today?"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="np", padding=True)
outputs = sess.run(None, {
    'input_ids': inputs['input_ids'].astype(np.int64),
    'attention_mask': inputs['attention_mask'].astype(np.int64)
})
embeddings = outputs[0].mean(axis=1)  # Mean pooling
```

### Rust (ort-binding)

```rust
use onnx_semantic_router::MmBertEmbeddingModel;

let model = MmBertEmbeddingModel::load("./mmbert-32k-yarn-onnx", false)?;
let embeddings = model.embed("What is the weather?")?;
```

### Latency Benchmarks (AMD MI300X)

| Backend | Single Text | Batch(4)/text |
|---------|-------------|---------------|
| CPU | 10.1ms | 6.8ms |
| ROCm GPU | **4.7ms** | **1.2ms** |

## Limitations

- **Long-range retrieval**: While the model handles 32K context, retrieval accuracy drops significantly beyond 2048 tokens distance
- **Training data**: Trained on CC-100 which may have biases from web crawl data
- **Compute requirements**: Full 32K context requires significant GPU memory (~180GB for batch size 1)
