prompt parameters cannot be used?

[Huangouzm]

On website: https://www.sbert.net/docs/sentence_transformer/pretrained_models.html, we can see the function "model.encode" use parameter "prompt". However, I didn't see that "prompt" parameter were mentioned in model card ("https://huggingface.co/hkunlp/instructor-large"). And I asked ChatGPT to describe the code for me, it said that the SentenceTransformer's function "encode" doesn't accept "prompt" parameter. Therefore, I wonder whether the website do update or not. Or models do not accept the "prompt" parameter any more. Thanks.

It might be "prompts" (i.e. with an 's') instead of "prompt". See here:

Moreover, be aware that the owners of this repository don't keep it up to date very well. You can check out my repository here if you want. I've included other parameters like "local_files_only" and others as well:
