The SBERT implementation is available as the Python library 'sentence-transformers' at https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers.

Summary

SBERT is not just a research paper; it ships as a standard, installable Python package maintained by the UKP Lab, so any part of the system that needs to generate or compare sentence embeddings can pull it in with a single import rather than rebuilding the model. This pins the rest of the architecture to a specific, maintained open-source codebase, which means updates, bugs, or breaking changes in that repo will directly affect downstream functionality.
