The discussion revolves around a new model that is positioned as a replacement for 기존의 BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers). Users have shown interest in its practical applications and have asked for evaluations, particularly in terms of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) capabilities. There are mentions of comparisons to existing models like Voyage AI and queries about integration with tools like SentenceTransformers. Some comments express enthusiasm for the new model but also highlight potential confusion over its categorization as an embedding model. A light-hearted commentary on naming the model as 'ERNIE' suggests a desire for catchy nomenclature in tech device branding.
