Multimodal Embedding & Reranker Models with Sentence Transformers

Honestly, Sentence Transformers is still a solid choice for multimodal embedding, but I'm not sure why they're highlighting this - it's been around since 2019.

I've seen some decent results with their models, but the thing that gets me is the lack of clear instructions on how to fine-tune them for custom use cases.

Actionable tip: Use Sentence Transformers for multimodal embedding, but don't expect it to be a plug-and-play solution without some elbow grease.
