MPNet (multilingual) is the strongest model on multilingual classification and STS tasks in MTEB

Summary

MPNet consistently beats other models when the job is sorting multilingual text into categories or judging how similar two passages are in meaning, based on the MTEB benchmark results. This makes it the recommended go-to choice whenever the system needs a model strong at those specific multilingual understanding tasks.
