Problem Description

Sentence Transformers has introduced several new features: https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers/releases/tag/v4.1.0

Especially, the ability to use onnx and openvino to speed up inference is highly interesting.

Desired Solution you'd like

Hence, I will open a PR updating sentence transformers and adding ENV to configure backend and kwargs separately for sentence transformer and cross encoder.
