 # hkunlp/instructor-large
-We introduce **Instructor**👨‍🏫, an instruction-finetuned text embedding model that can generate text embeddings tailored to any task (e.g., classification, retrieval, clustering, text evaluation, etc.) and domains (e.g., science, finance, etc.) ***by simply providing the task instruction, without any finetuning***. Instructor👨‍ achieves sota on 70 diverse embedding tasks!

Instructor👨‍ achieves sota on 70 diverse embedding tasks ([MTEB leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard))!
 The model is easy to use with **our customized** `sentence-transformer` library. For more details, check out [our paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.09741) and [project page](https://instructor-embedding.github.io/)!
