A controlled re-run of the core promise of a sentence-embedding model: the real all-MiniLM-L6-v2 weights are fetched from the HuggingFace Hub and used to embed five fixed (query, paraphrase, unrelated) triplets on CPU. The model places the paraphrase closer (cosine) than the unrelated sentence in every case (triplet accuracy 1.0), with a minimum margin of ~0.54 and a mean margin of ~0.70 — a large, reproducible separation. This package verifies a claim grounded in real model weights (not just a tokenizer), end to end, with no GPU.

Claims

✓ verified c1 performance

On five fixed (query, paraphrase, unrelated) triplets, all-MiniLM-L6-v2 ranks the paraphrase strictly closer than the unrelated sentence in every case (triplet accuracy = 1.0).

✓ verified c2 performance

The separation is wide, not marginal: the smallest paraphrase-minus-unrelated cosine margin across the triplets is at least 0.30 (measured ~0.54).

✓ verified c3 performance

The model produces 384-dimensional sentence embeddings.

These are hand-picked, clearly-separable triplets — they demonstrate the model works as advertised, not a benchmark score. A real STS/retrieval benchmark (e.g. MTEB) would give a comparable, citable number; this package only establishes the qualitative separation on fixed inputs.

✓ n1 Verify a claim grounded in real model weights (not just a tokenizer): does MiniLM separate paraphrases from unrelated text?

💡 Min margin ~0.54 across triplets — a large, robust separation that survives version drift.
