What is the SOTA for mulitlingual self-hosted embeddings? (Generative/SBERT style?)

I am working on an application where we would like to improve our multilingual support. Right now, we use the \`multi-qa-MiniLM-L6-cos-v1 \` sometimes, and at other times, thinks like mcontriever, at other times, embeddings from large language models (e.g. GPT-J/20B/other more recent models).

It just seems though that since mcontriever (which is a bit too unwieldy) and the older multi-qa models, there aren't any fast and good models, unlike say the BGE / E5 models (which as far as I …
