intfloat/e5-base

intfloat/e5-base is an embedding model for sentence similarity and retrieval under the mit license (877 MB), added to Hugging Bay Jun 29, 2026. Hosted open-weights model — 10 files carry published SHA-256 checksums you can re-hash.

About this download

e5-base. 1 file. Published by intfloat

How this works

To run a downloaded model you need the file and a runner program to open it. Searching and reading need no account.

Downloadable — the files passed our public gates and the download button is here today. That’s all it means — not safe, not guaranteed to run.

Checked on this Mac — the file’s fingerprint matches the published one, byte for byte. That proves it arrived unchanged — not that the model is safe.

Running locally — this device did the work: a real first reply was produced here — not on a server.

DETAILS

Checked. Ready to download.

Make sure it arrived whole. Usually under a minute

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

1661...4a02

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

What does ‘Checked’ mean?

Checked on this Mac — the file’s fingerprint matches the published one, byte for byte. That proves it 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. 10 hosted files carry a published SHA-256 you can re-hash. The machine-readable verdict is at /api/artifacts/hf-model-intfloat-e5-base/safety on Hugging Bay.

Will intfloat/e5-base 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.
