Embedding models
Embedding models covers models that turn text, images or audio into numbers a search system can compare, used for search and retrieval.
In brief
Embedding models, in brief.
What it isEmbedding models covers models that turn text, images or audio into numbers a search system can compare, used for search and retrieval.
Where it sitsOne of 24 categories in the Models layer. Models are the trained systems that do the work: language models, and models for speech, images, video, code, translation and forecasting. This layer covers both closed models reached through an API and open models you can download.
What we track32 products, including all-MiniLM / all-mpnet (sentence-transformers), Amazon Titan Text Embeddings / Nova multimodal embeddings, Azure OpenAI embeddings, BGE (bge-m3, bge-large) and CLIP / OpenCLIP.
