Overview
A verification step that loads a fine-tuned embedding model from its saved checkpoint and runs test encoding to confirm the model produces valid embeddings.
Description
After fine-tuning, validation ensures the saved checkpoint loads correctly and produces meaningful embeddings. This uses the same FlagAutoModel.from_finetuned() factory but with the local output directory path. The model_class must match the training type.
Usage
After embedder fine-tuning completes, to verify the trained model works correctly.
Theoretical Basis
Smoke testing validates that saved model weights, tokenizer config, and architecture metadata are all correctly persisted and can be reloaded.
