Adding a new Leaderboard tab

The MTEB Leaderboard is available here and we love new leaderboard tabs. To add a new leaderboard tab:

1. Open a PR in https://hf.co/datasets/mteb/results with:

• All results added in existing model folders or new folders
• Updated paths.json (see snippet results.py)
• If adding any new models, their names added to results.py
• If you have access to all models you are adding, you can also add results via the metadata for all of them / some of them

2. Open a PR at https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard modifying app.py to add your tab:

• Add any new models & their specs to the global lists
• Add your tab, credits etc to where the other tabs are defined
• If you're adding new results to existing models, remove those models from EXTERNAL_MODEL_RESULTS.json such that they can be reloaded with the new results and are not cached.
• You may also have to uncomment , download_mode='force_redownload', verification_mode="no_checks") where the datasets are loaded to experiment locally without caching of results
• Test that it runs & works locally as you desire with python app.py, please add screenshots to the PR
