gollark: For the sentence_transformers one, are you precomputing the embeddings for the example sentences *then* just cosine-similaritying them against the new sentence? Because if not that's probably a very large bottleneck.
gollark: sentence_transformers says you should be able to do several thousand sentences a second on a V100, which I'm pretty sure is worse than your GPU. Are you actually running it on the GPU?

gollark: I mean, their Twitter feed is still active.
