I'm waiting for this too. Are there any updates on supporting sparse vectors for Alibaba-NLP/gte-multilingual-base?

Hey @chitralverma @yudumpacin

Unfortunately, the model authors haven't converted it to onnx and we might not be able to invest time into conversion of the models in the foreseeable future

If you're willing to convert this model to onnx, it can then be added to fastembed in runtime via .add_custom_model interface of TextEmbedding
