What it does

PyLate is a library built on top of Sentence Transformers, designed to simplify and optimize fine-tuning, inference, and retrieval with state-of-the-art ColBERT models. It enables easy fine-tuning on both single and multiple GPUs, providing flexibility for various hardware setups. PyLate also streamlines document retrieval and allows you to load a wide range of models, enabling you to construct ColBERT models from most pre-trained language models.
