Released February 202641K context≈ 30,720 words8B params

A text embedding model that converts input text into dense vector representations, operating with a 40,960-token context window — notably generous for an embedding model. It handles the full input-to-vector pipeline in a single pass, making it straightforward to integrate into retrieval or similarity workflows. The NVFP4 designation suggests quantization optimized for NVIDIA hardware, trading some numerical precision for faster inference and reduced memory footprint.

Glossary

Context WindowThe maximum number of tokens a model can process in a single conversation or prompt.Dense VectorA compact numerical representation where most values are non-zero, used to efficiently store and compare the meaning of text.EmbeddingA dense numerical vector that represents a word, sentence, or concept in a high-dimensional space.Embedding ModelA model that converts text into numerical vectors that capture semantic meaning, allowing computers to understand and compare the similarity between different pieces of text.InferenceThe process of running a trained model to generate predictions or outputs from new inputs.Memory FootprintThe amount of RAM or storage space a model requires to run, which is critical for deployment on resource-constrained devices.PrecisionThe level of numerical detail a model uses to represent its internal values; higher precision means more accurate calculations but requires more memory.QuantizationReducing a model's numerical precision (e.g., from 16-bit to 4-bit) to shrink memory usage and speed up inference.RetrievalThe process of finding and returning relevant documents or information from a database based on a query.Text EmbeddingA technique that converts text into numerical vectors that capture semantic meaning, allowing the model to understand and compare text similarity.Text Embedding ModelA neural network that converts text into numerical vectors that capture semantic meaning, allowing computers to understand and compare text similarity.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.
