ModernVBERT

weights

open(ungated MIT checkpoints on the ModernVBERT org - colmodernvbert, bimodernvbert, modernvbert-embed and the base model)

data

open(the paper states models, code and data are released, and the org publishes the NatCap modality-alignment corpus alongside the public document-retrieval sets it trains on)

code

open(the card releases the training codebase under MIT, and the paper releases intermediate checkpoints with it)

checkpoints

open(ModernVBERT/ablation_checkpoints, the intermediate and ablation runs behind the paper)

An unusually complete release for a 2025 retriever: MIT over architecture, weights and the training codebase in one sentence of the card, the data published in the same org, and the intermediate checkpoints kept rather than discarded. The corpus is the softest of the four - it is a mixture of public sets plus the released NatCap rather than one named published corpus - but nothing in it is withheld.
