    Overview

    Qwen3-Reranker-4B is the mid-size option in the Qwen3 reranker family, offering stronger accuracy than the 0.6B variant while remaining significantly faster than the 8B model. It supports 100+ languages with instruction-following for custom relevance criteria, making it the sweet spot for production deployments that need both quality and throughput.

    Architecture

    Decoder-based cross-encoder built on the Qwen3 4B language model. Instruction-tuned for reranking tasks with support for user-defined relevance criteria via natural language prompts. Processes concatenated query-document pairs through causal attention layers with a relevance classification head.

    Mixpeek SDK Integration

    import { Mixpeek } from "mixpeek";
    
    const mx = new Mixpeek({ apiKey: "API_KEY" });
    
    // Managed: create a collection over a bucket; Mixpeek runs this model's extractor
    const collection = await mx.collections.create({
      namespace_id: "my-namespace",
      collection_name: "my-collection",
      source: { type: "bucket", bucket_ids: ["bkt_your_bucket"] },
      feature_extractor: {
        feature_extractor_name: "s3",
        version: "v1",
        parameters: { model_id: "mixpeek://text_extractor@v1/qwen3_embedding_4b_v1" },
      },
    });
