tawkeed-embedding

tawkeed-embedding is an Arabic-first text embedding model built by Tawkeed, fine-tuned for on-device and edge AI deployment.

Forked from BAAI/bge-m3 and fine-tuned on Arabic semantic similarity and retrieval data, this model powers Arabic search, RAG, and similarity tasks running natively on Tawkeed devices.

Highlights

• Arabic-first embeddings — trained and rigorously tested on Arabic text for semantic understanding
• Edge-optimized — efficient enough to run embedding pipelines on Tawkeed edge hardware
• Production-ready — validated on Arabic retrieval and similarity benchmarks
• Multilingual — retains strong multilingual capability from BGE-M3

Model Details

Property	Value
Base Model	BAAI/bge-m3
Language	Arabic (ar), English (en), + multilingual
License	MIT
Task	Text Embedding / Retrieval / Similarity
Fine-tuning	Arabic semantic similarity & retrieval data
Deployment	On-device / Edge / Cloud

Training

This model is fine-tuned for Arabic embeddings through:

1. Fork of the BGE-M3 multilingual embedding model
2. Fine-tuning on Arabic semantic similarity and retrieval datasets
3. Evaluation on Arabic retrieval benchmarks

Usage

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

model = SentenceTransformer("tawkeed-sa/tawkeed-embedding")

sentences = [
    "الذكاء الاصطناعي يغير العالم",
    "تقنيات التعلم العميق تتطور بسرعة",
    "الطقس جميل اليوم"
]

embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings.shape)
