e5-mistral is essentially a distillation from gpt-4 to a smaller model. You can see here https://github.com/microsoft/unilm/blob/16da2f193b9c1dab0a69...

they actually have custom prompts for each dataset being tested.

Question would be, if you haven't seen the task before, what is a good prompt to prepend for your task?

IMO e5-mistral is overfit to MTEB
