  # LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M
50
 
51
- Two new multilingual retrieval models built on the bidirectional LFM2.5 backbone: **LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M** (this model), a late-interaction retriever, and **[LFM2.5-Embedding-350M](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/LFM2.5-Embedding-350M)**, a dense bi-encoder. Both are 350M params, the first bidirectional members of the LFM family, and target fast, cheap, and reliable multilingual / cross-lingual search across 11 languages — well-suited for short-context use cases like product catalogs, FAQs, and support docs.
52
 
53
  - **[LFM2.5-Embedding-350M](https://huggingface.co/LiquidAI/LFM2.5-Embedding-350M)** — one vector per document. Smallest, fastest index.
54
- - **LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M** (this model) — one vector per *token*, matched via MaxSim. Higher accuracy and better generalization at the cost of index size.
55
 
56
  For the full story on architecture (bidirectional patches over LFM2.5), training recipe, and benchmarks, see the [release blog post](https://www.liquid.ai/blog) *(link to be added)*.

+ We recommend LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M for short-context retrieval use cases, such as:
61
+
62
+ - **E-commerce**: find products across many languages with semantic search at scale.
63
+ - **FAQ and support knowledge bases**: retrieve the right answer reliably across customer-facing surfaces.
64
+ - **On-device semantic search**: search files, emails, and notes locally on consumer hardware.
65
+ - **Enterprise knowledge assistants**: retrieve internal legal, financial, and technical documents across languages.
