Microsoft has released E5-V, the first universal embedding model in the E5 family, which leverages a multimodal large language model (LLM) as its backbone. This new model adapts multimodal LLMs for universal embeddings using text-only training, outperforming traditional methods while reducing costs. The E5-V model addresses semantic understanding limitations and cold-start issues, showing promising advancements in general visual and language understanding. The paper also discusses hybrid item tokenization and progressive optimization.
