SPLADE-Code-06B is a sparse retrieval model designed for code retrieval tasks. It is the top-performing models on MTEB for models below 1B (at time of writing, Feb 2026).


```python
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoModel
import os
import torch

splade = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("naver/splade-code-06B", trust_remote_code=True)
device = (torch.device("cuda") if torch.cuda.is_available() else torch.device("cpu"))
splade.to(device)
splade.eval()
queries = ["SELECT *\nFROM Student\nWHERE Age = (\nSELECT MAX(Age)\nFROM Student\nWHERE Group = 'specific_group'\n)\nAND Group = 'specific_group';"]
bow_dict = splade.encode(queries, prompt_type="query", top_k_q=10, return_dict=True, print_dict=True)
```
