Feature Request: Support modern ColBERT-style embedding models

[cn4750]

I noticed there was a previous effort to add support for ColBERT-style multi-vector embeddings (#209).

Would it be possible to support the following Hugging Face models?

• lightonai/LateOn
• LiquidAI/LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M

These are both performant late-interaction embedding models remaining practical to run locally. It would be great to be able to use them with fastembed for local semantic search and RAG applications.

Thanks.

Hi @cn4750

I'm a little occupied right now.
Please feel free to contribute.
