Quick Start
import numpy as np
from ai_edge_litert.interpreter import Interpreter
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
# Load model and tokenizer
interpreter = Interpreter(model_path="sentence-transformers_multi-qa-MiniLM-L6-cos-v1.tflite")
interpreter.allocate_tensors()
input_details = interpreter.get_input_details()
output_details = interpreter.get_output_details()
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("sentence-transformers/multi-qa-MiniLM-L6-cos-v1")
def get_embedding(text: str) -> np.ndarray:
"""Get sentence embedding for input text."""
encoded = tokenizer(
text,
padding="max_length",
max_length=512,
truncation=True,
return_tensors="np"
)
interpreter.set_tensor(input_details[0]["index"], encoded["input_ids"].astype(np.int64))
interpreter.set_tensor(input_details[1]["index"], encoded["attention_mask"].astype(np.int64))
interpreter.invoke()
return interpreter.get_tensor(output_details[0]["index"])[0]
# Example
embedding = get_embedding("Hello, world!")
print(f"Embedding shape: {embedding.shape}") # (384,)Files

Conversion Details
- Conversion Tool: ai-edge-torch
- Conversion Date: 2026-01-12
- Source Framework: PyTorch → LiteRT
- Validation: Cosine similarity 1.0000 vs original
Intended Use
- Mobile Applications: On-device semantic search, RAG systems
- Edge Devices: IoT, embedded systems, Raspberry Pi
- Offline Processing: Privacy-preserving inference
- Low-latency Applications: Real-time processing
Limitations
- Fixed sequence length (512 tokens)
- CPU inference (GPU delegate requires setup)
- Tokenizer loaded separately from original model
- Float32 precision
