Download the file

Run on a computer

On this page you get the files to download, a plain explanation of the model, and the checks that prove the files arrived unchanged.

To run a downloaded model you need the file and a runner app to open it.

Make sure it arrived whole. Usually under a minute

Think of the fingerprint below as the file's ID photo: a string unique to its exact bytes.

What this step does: it only prints an ID string so you can compare; it doesn't run anything or install anything.

On a Mac, the Terminal line below prints this file's SHA-256 fingerprint; it already contains your file's name and assumes the file is in your Downloads folder.

After the download finishes, paste it into Terminal and press Return.

Terminal shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/model.safetensors

On a different computer?

On Windows, the PowerShell line below prints this file's SHA-256 fingerprint; it already contains your file's name and assumes the file is in your Downloads folder.

After the download finishes, paste it into PowerShell and press Enter.

PowerShell Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 "$HOME\Downloads\model.safetensors"

From Command Prompt instead: certutil -hashfile "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\model.safetensors" SHA256

PowerShell prints the same SHA-256 fingerprint in capital letters.

On Linux, the terminal line below prints this file's SHA-256 fingerprint; it already contains your file's name and assumes the file is in your Downloads folder.

After the download finishes, paste it into a terminal and press Enter.

Terminal sha256sum ~/Downloads/model.safetensors

If the string it prints matches this one, you're holding exactly what we published:

d9e3...5286

d9e3e081faff1eefb84019509b2f5558fd74c1a05a2c7db22f74174fcedb5286

This check proves the file arrived unchanged. Not that the model is safe.

File checks and computer fit
File pattern scans

Automated file-pattern scans flagged nothing — not a safety guarantee. 7 hosted files carry a published SHA-256 you can re-hash. The machine-readable verdict is at /api/artifacts/hf-model-baai-bge-reranker-v2-m3/safety on Hugging Bay.

Will BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3 run on my computer?

We can’t check the fit — we don’t know your machine. We don’t have your machine’s specs, so no check ran and no verdict is shown. Answer two quick questions and we’ll estimate, from the memory you tell us, whether it fits your machine. Or skip it — you can still download; fit isn’t checked.
