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.

English Models

Latest Model	Description	Modality	Dimensions	Max Tokens (Context Length)	Similarity Metric	Endpoints
`embed-english-v3.0`	A model that allows for text to be classified or turned into embeddings. English only.	Text, Images	1024	512	Cosine Similarity, Dot Product Similarity, Euclidean Distance	Embed, Embed Jobs
`embed-english-light-v3.0`	A smaller, faster version of `embed-english-v3.0`. Almost as capable, but a lot faster. English only.	Text, Images	384	512	Cosine Similarity, Dot Product Similarity, Euclidean Distance	Embed, Embed Jobs
`embed-english-v2.0`	Our older embeddings model that allows for text to be classified or turned into embeddings. English only.	Text	4096	512	Cosine Similarity	Classify, Embed
`embed-english-light-v2.0`	A smaller, faster version of embed-english-v2.0. Almost as capable, but a lot faster. English only.	Text	1024	512	Cosine Similarity	Classify, Embed
