How does it handle documents longer than the context length of the model? Sorry there are a ton of these regularly and they don't usually think about this.

Edit: it seems like it just splits in to sentences which is a weird thing to do given in English only 95%ish percent agreement is even possible on what a sentence is. ``` // Process in batches for batch in sentences.chunks(batch_size) { // Truncate each sentence to max_length * median_token_length chars let truncated: Vec<&str> = batch .iter() .map(|text| { if let Some(max_tok) = max_length { Self::truncate_str(text, max_tok, self.median_token_length) } else { text.as_str() } }) .collect(); ```

Sorry, looking more, it doesn't seem like you are doing what you are saying. This is just poorly breaking text into bad chunks with no regard for semantics and is like ~200 lines of actual code. What is this for? Most models can handle fairly large contexts.

Edit: That wasn't intended to be mean, although it may come off that way, but what is this supposed to be for? Myself I have text >8k tokens that need to be embedded and test things regularly.

I think you are referring to for "batch in sentences.chunks(batch_size)"? This is not actually chunking sentences, chunks() is simply an iterator over a slice (in this case, a slice of all our input sentences of length batch_size). We don't have an actual constraint on input length. We truncate to 512 tokens by default, but you can easily set that to any amount by directly calling encode_with_args. There's an example in our quickstart: https://github.com/MinishLab/model2vec-rs/tree/main?tab=read....

It doesn’t break text into chunks at all. These models can handle sequences of arbitrary length.
