Contrastive-LM/CLM-v0.1-8B (text-ranking)
Announces an 8B contrastive language model for text-ranking applications.
Why this scored 8
every term, weightedEngagement gained per hour since the last capture, against the fastest item on its own source
Whether that velocity is itself speeding up, as a per-hour rate
How many independent communities are talking about the same entity
Decays to zero over 14 days
Subtracted once something is big and old — we rank what's next, not what's peaked
Weights are hand-tuned, not learned — we're calibrating them against realized trends as history accumulates. On a topic's first sighting there's no previous reading to compare against, so acceleration starts from a neutral prior rather than a measurement, and velocity falls back to engagement over its whole lifetime until a second reading exists.
