BOSTON, June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Linq, a generative AI startup, announced that its large embedding model “Linq-Embed-Mistral” ranked first in the text retrieval evaluation on HuggingFace’s “Massive Text Embedding Benchmark (MTEB)” leaderboard, outpacing competitors like NVIDIA, Salesforce, Google, OpenAI, and Cohere. This evaluation is run by HuggingFace, the world’s largest machine learning platform.

Linq’s embedding model achieved a score of 60.2 points in the text retrieval category, securing the top position. This placed Linq ahead of NVIDIA, which scored 59.4 points, and Voyage AI, which scored 58.3 points. Google’s model followed with a score of 55.7, while OpenAI and Cohere scored 55.4 and 55.0 points, respectively.

The MTEB leaderboard by HuggingFace ranks the performance of embedding models across seven categories, including classification, clustering, pair classification, reranking, retrieval, semantic textual similarity (STS), and summarization. Linq’s embedding model demonstrated excellent performance not only in the text retrieval category but also in other categories, earning an overall rank of third.

The MTEB lists more than 300 embedding models, highlighting the competitive yet manageable landscape of embedding model technology. Linq’s top performance in this specific benchmark underscores its superiority in embedding model technology.

Embedding models are critical in generative AI, particularly for addressing the hallucination problem of large language models (LLMs) by employing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technology. RAG allows models to produce reliable outputs by accessing the latest data or internal documents not available within the LLM.

Leading this project, Dr. Junseong Kim stated, “Our research demonstrates that due to the broad topic diversity and challenging difficulty of retrieval data, GPT-generated data is not perfect and requires thorough verification and refinement. Through these processes, we can achieve quality comparable to human-labeled data, ultimately attaining the best retrieval performance based on the MTEB benchmark dataset. This study shows that through elaborate data crafting and filtering using GPT, we can create models optimized for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and maximize performance in specific fields.” Additionally, he emphasized, “Not only is refined data crucial, but optimized training methodologies and rapid experimental cycles are also key to maximizing retrieval performance.”

Linq’s Co-founder & CEO, Jacob Choi, emphasized, “Accurate search is crucial for generative AI enterprises’ adoption. We’re proud to have developed the core embedding model to achieve this, and we’ll keep expanding and refining it to ensure precise text searches in specialized fields like finance and legal.” Choi noted that while 2023 saw the rise of B2C use cases for generative AI with the advent of ChatGPT, 2024 will witness the growth of B2B (business-to-business) applications with improved accuracy and security technologies.

BingX Introduces ALTCOIN Index Futures Trading: One Click, Countless Trends

December 27, 2024

VILNIUS, Lithuania, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a global leading cryptocurrency exchange, is excited to announce the launch of ALTCOIN Index, the first futures trading pair involving top altcoins. This innovative trading product offers users a one-click solution to efficiently track and trade major cryptocurrency trends with ease.

Traditionally used in stock markets, a futures index is a financial derivative that tracks the performance of a group of assets, such as stocks of commodities. These instruments were first introduced to simplify trading by allowing investors to speculate on or hedge against the collective movements of selected market sectors. Instead of purchasing individual stocks, traders are able to access broad market exposure in a single transaction, saving time and reducing costs.

In the cryptocurrency market, this new ALTCOIN/USDT futures trading pair works similarly by bundling the performance of the top mainstream cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins. The current index includes ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB, DOGE, ADA, TRX, AVAX, and SHIB. This approach is more efficient compared to buying individual cryptocurrencies or ETFs as this allows for direct speculation using tiered leverage options without the need to manage multiple positions, effectively diversifying trading risks associated with individual asset volatility.

Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer of BingX, commented on the new offering: “By aggregating a range of leading cryptocurrencies into a single trading instrument, we’re giving users a practical and efficient way to better capture market trends. This index trading pair should help our less experienced users with their trading goals more easily, particularly when they are unsure which asset to trade and just want to trade major altcoins in general with leverage.”

BingX users can take advantage of tiered leverage options and competitive rates consistent with the platform’s perpetual futures terms, simplifying open order management and enhancing trading efficiency. The platform also ensures that the index composition remains current, with regular quarterly adjustments and temporary updates in response to market conditions.

About BingX
Founded in 2018, BingX is a leading crypto exchange, serving over 10 million users worldwide. BingX offers diversified products and services, including spot, derivatives, copy trading, and asset management – all designed for the evolving needs of users, from beginners to professionals. BingX is committed to providing a trustworthy platform that empowers users with innovative tools and features to elevate their trading proficiency. In 2024, BingX proudly became the official crypto exchange partner of Chelsea Football Club, marking an exciting debut in the world of sports.
