    Overview

    Qwen3-VL-Reranker-2B is a 2B-parameter cross-encoder reranker that scores (query, document) pairs where both the query and document can be text, images, screenshots, or video frames. Unlike embedding models that encode queries and documents independently, cross-encoders jointly attend to both, producing more accurate relevance scores at the cost of higher latency.

    This model fills a critical gap in multimodal retrieval pipelines: first-stage retrieval uses fast bi-encoder embeddings to find candidates, then the reranker rescores the top-K candidates with cross-attention for higher precision.

    Architecture

    Cross-encoder architecture built on Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct. Jointly processes query and document tokens with full cross-attention. Outputs a single relevance score per pair. Supports 30+ languages.

    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: "feature_search",
        version: "v1",
        parameters: { model_id: "Qwen/Qwen3-VL-Embedding-2B" },
      },
    });

    Capabilities

    • Cross-modal reranking: text-to-image, image-to-text, text-to-video
    • Joint query-document attention for higher precision than bi-encoders
    • 30+ language support
    • Pairs naturally with Qwen3-VL-Embedding for two-stage retrieval
    • Handles screenshots, documents, and video frames as document inputs

    Use Cases on Mixpeek

    Two-stage multimodal retrieval: fast embedding search followed by precision reranking
    Visual document search: rerank candidate pages by cross-attending to query and page image
    E-commerce product search: rerank visually similar products by relevance to text query
    Video search: rerank candidate scenes by cross-modal relevance
