-FlagEmbedding can map any text to a low-dimensional dense vector which can be used for tasks like retrieval, classification,  clustering, or semantic search.
-And it also can be used in vector databases for LLMs.
+FlagEmbedding focuses on retrieval-augmented LLMs, consisting of the following projects currently:

     - **New reranker model**: release cross-encoder models `BAAI/bge-reranker-base` and `BAAI/bge-reranker-large`, which are more powerful than embedding model. We recommend to use/fine-tune them to re-rank top-k documents returned by embedding models. 
     - **update embedding model**: release `bge-*-v1.5` embedding model to alleviate the issue of the similarity distribution, and enhance its retrieval ability without instruction.
