Key point

Tencent has released an ultra-lightweight, high-performance multilingual Visual Document Retrieval (VDR) model based on Qwen3.5-4B.

Details

EVIE-Preview-4.5B is a state-of-the-art multilingual Visual Document Retrieval (VDR) model built on Qwen3.5-4B.

It adopts a ColBERT-style late interaction approach to generate ultra-compact 128-dimensional (128D) multi-vector token embeddings. This reduces vector storage and indexing costs by 8 to 32 times compared to existing 2560D–4096D methods.

Key Features:

  • SOTA Performance: Outperformed existing 8B models on 7 out of 8 public domains in the ViDoRe V3 benchmark.
  • Multilingual and Multi-format Support: Supports various languages such as English, Chinese, and German, as well as diverse visual formats including charts, tables, scientific reports, and financial documents.
  • ColPali Compatibility: Fully integrates with the standard colpali-engine ecosystem and late interaction scoring pipelines.
