 Distillation is really fast, and only takes about 5 seconds on a 2024 macbook using the MPS backend, 30 seconds on CPU. Best of all, distillation requires no training data.
 
-You can also directly use Model2Vec in [Sentence Transformers](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers) using the [StaticEmbedding](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/blob/master/sentence_transformers/models/StaticEmbedding.py) module. You can either load a Model2Vec model into a Sentence Transformer with the following code snippet:
-```python
-from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
-from sentence_transformers.models import StaticEmbedding
-
-# Initialize a StaticEmbedding module
-static_embedding = StaticEmbedding.from_model2vec("minishlab/M2V_base_output")
-model = SentenceTransformer(modules=[static_embedding])
-embeddings = model.encode(["It's dangerous to go alone!", "It's a secret to everybody."])
-```
-
-Or you can distill a model directly into a Sentence Transformer model:
-```python
-from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
-from sentence_transformers.models import StaticEmbedding
-
-static_embedding = StaticEmbedding.from_distillation("BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5", device="cpu", pca_dims=256)
-model = SentenceTransformer(modules=[static_embedding])
-embeddings = model.encode(["It's dangerous to go alone!", "It's a secret to everybody."])
-```

 ## Main Features
 
-Model2Vec is:
+Model2Vec has the following features:
 
 - **Small**: reduces the size of a Sentence Transformer model by a factor of 15, from 120M params, down to 7.5M (30 MB on disk, making it the smallest model on [MTEB](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard)!).
 - **Static, but better**: smaller than GLoVe and BPEmb, but [much more performant](results/README.md), even with the same vocabulary.
