Cohere’s Embed Models (Details and Application)

Embed models can be used to generate embeddings from text or classify it based on various parameters. Embeddings can be used for estimating semantic similarity between two texts, choosing a sentence which is most likely to follow another sentence, or categorizing user feedback. When used with the Classify endpoint, embeddings can be used for any classification or analysis task.

Latest Model	Description	Modality	Dimensions	Max Tokens (Context Length)	Similarity Metric	Endpoints
`embed-v5.0-pro`	Our most capable embedding model, for text and images. Higher quality than `embed-v5.0-fast`, at higher latency.	Text, Images, Mixed texts/images (i.e. PDFs)	One of ‘[256, 512, 768, 1024, 1536, 2048 (default)]‘	128k	Cosine Similarity, Dot Product Similarity, Euclidean Distance	Embed
`embed-v5.0-fast`	A faster, lighter version of `embed-v5.0-pro`. Allows for text and images to be classified or turned into embeddings	Text, Images, Mixed texts/images (i.e. PDFs)	One of ‘[256, 512, 768, 1024, 1536, 2048 (default)]‘	128k	Cosine Similarity, Dot Product Similarity, Euclidean Distance	Embed
