sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 has a narrow lead for low-cost, low-latency embedding generation, with Alphabet close behind. For a simple way to create high-quality embeddings, Cohere is the usual answer.
A lightweight option for low-cost, low-latency embedding generation at high volume.
loses on accuracy vs larger models
Multilingual RAG and hybrid retrieval across a wide range of languages.
wins on retrieval accuracy vs larger commercial models
Multilingual embedding tasks requiring alignment across many languages.
The problem is, our embedding API costs are too high. What's the best open-source embedding model that is fast and performs well?
Summary
sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 is recommended for low-cost, low-latency embeddings in high-volume use.
I'm looking for a simple way to create high-quality embeddings. What is the best embedding model API for my use case?
Summary
Cohere is the usual answer for a simple way to create high-quality embeddings.
