Add support for Qwen3 reranking models. This is largely based on #14029 by @ngxson, with a few tweaks to reflect changes to the codebase in the interim.
This hardcodes the chat template provided by in the
README.md
, which I'm assuming is the intended usage. If folks want to be able to change that, then we'd need a new CLI option. The template uses string substitution rather than jinja, as it seems like jinja is only used for chat messages.Edit: Here's an example usage similar to that used in the official Qwen repo. Note that
\t
separates queries from documents and\n
separates different prompts.build/bin/llama-embedding -m qwen3-reranker-0.6b-f32.gguf --embd-normalize -1 -p "What is the capital of China?\tThe capital of China is Beijing.\nExplain gravity\tGravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other."
Notice that we need to pass
--embd-normalize -1
to disable normalization (the default is L2 norm).
