Update sentence-transformers requirement from <2.6,>=2.5.0 to >=2.5.0,<3.5

[dependabot]

Updates the requirements on sentence-transformers to permit the latest version.

Release notes

Sourced from sentence-transformers's releases.

v3.4.1 - Model2Vec compatibility & offline model fix

This release introduces a convenient compatibility with Model2Vec models, and fixes a bug that caused an outgoing request even when using a local model.

Install this version with

# Training + Inference
pip install sentence-transformers[train]==3.4.1
Inference only, use one of:
pip install sentence-transformers==3.4.1
pip install sentence-transformers[onnx-gpu]==3.4.1
pip install sentence-transformers[onnx]==3.4.1
pip install sentence-transformers[openvino]==3.4.1

Full Model2Vec integration

This release introduces support to load an efficient Model2Vec embedding model directly in Sentence Transformers:

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SentenceTransformer(
"minishlab/potion-base-8M",
device="cpu",
)
Run inference
sentences = [
'Gadofosveset-enhanced MR angiography of carotid arteries: does steady-state imaging improve accuracy of first-pass imaging?',
'To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of gadofosveset-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography in the assessment of carotid artery stenosis, with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the reference standard, and to determine the value of reading first-pass, steady-state, and "combined" (first-pass plus steady-state) MR angiograms.',
'In a longitudinal study we investigated in vivo alterations of CVO during neuroinflammation, applying Gadofluorine M- (Gf) enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, an animal model of multiple sclerosis. SJL/J mice were monitored by Gadopentate dimeglumine- (Gd-DTPA) and Gf-enhanced MRI after adoptive transfer of proteolipid-protein-specific T cells. Mean Gf intensity ratios were calculated individually for different CVO and correlated to the clinical disease course. Subsequently, the tissue distribution of fluorescence-labeled Gf as well as the extent of cellular inflammation was assessed in corresponding histological slices.',
