# Paraphrase Multilingual MPNet v2
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Deprecated:** Paraphrase Multilingual MPNet v2 is deprecated and will be removed on **November 30, 2026**. We recommend migrating to [**BGE M3**](/cloud/ai/ai-model-hub/models/embedding-models/bge-m3.md), its designated successor. Embeddings from the two models are not interchangeable: Paraphrase Multilingual MPNet v2 produces 768-dimensional vectors and BGE M3 produces 1024-dimensional vectors, so you must re-embed your existing content with BGE M3 and adjust the dimension of your vector index before you switch.
After the model is removed, requests using this model ID will return an `HTTP 404 Not Found` response with the `MODEL_NOT_SUPPORTED` error code.
{% endhint %}
**Summary:** Paraphrase Multilingual MPNet v2 is a compact and efficient multilingual sentence transformer that creates 768-dimensional vector representations optimized for cross-lingual semantic similarity and paraphrase detection. This model excels in multilingual content comparison, duplicate detection, semantic search across languages, and cross-lingual information retrieval. It is ideal for applications requiring fast and efficient multilingual text understanding with minimal computational overhead.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/ai/ai-model-hub/models/embedding-models/paraphrase-multilingual-mpnet-v2.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
