Multilingual E5 Text Embeddings: A Technical Report. Liang Wang, Nan Yang, Xiaolong Huang, Linjun Yang, Rangan Majumder, Furu Wei, arXiv 2024 This model is initialized from xlm-roberta-base and continually trained on a mixture of multilingual datasets. It supports 100 languages from xlm-roberta, but low-resource languages may see performance degradation. Here are some rules of thumb: - Use "query: " and "passage: " correspondingly for asymmetric tasks such as passage retrieval in open QA, ad-hoc information retrieval.

xcodec2-hf

HKUSTAudio

The X-Codec2 model was proposed in Llasa: Scaling Train-Time and Inference-Time Compute for Llama-based Speech Synthesis. X-Codec2 is a neural audio codec designed to improve speech synthesis and general audio generation for large language model (LLM) pipelines. It extends the original X-Codec by refining how semantic and acoustic information is integrated and tokenized, enabling efficient and high-fidelity audio representation. About its architecture: - **Unified Semantic-Acoustic Tokenization**: X-Codec2 fuses outputs from a semantic encoder (e.g., Wav2Vec2-BERT) and an acoustic encoder into a single embedding, capturing both high-level meaning (e.g., text content, emotion) and low-level audio details (e.g., timbre). - **Single-Stage Feature Scalar Quantization (FSQ)**: Unlike the multi-layer residual VQ in most approaches (e.g., DAC, EnCodec, X-Codec, Mimi), X-Codec2 uses a single-layer of Feature Scalar Quantization (FSQ) for stability and compatibility with causal, autoregressive LLMs. - **Transformer-Friendly Design**: The 1D token structure of X-Codec2 naturally aligns with the autoregressive modeling in LLMs like LLaMA, improving training efficiency and downstream compatibility.

bekko-embedding-v1-a25m is an ultra-compact multilingual text embedding model. It has just 25M active parameters — light enough to run comfortably on modest CPUs — yet its retrieval quality is comparable to models with 3–10x more active parameters. You can also try bekko right in your browser: the bekko-embedding-web demo runs the model fully client-side with Transformers.js — no server involved. > [!NOTE] > For a guided overview of the models, training recipe, and results, read Bekko Embedding: how small can a multilingual retrieval model be?.

This is a sentence-transformers model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 768 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search. Using this model becomes easy when you have sentence-transformers installed: Without sentence-transformers, you can use the model like this: First, you pass your input through the transformer model, then you have to apply the right pooling-operation on-top of the contextualized word embeddings.

**Model Summary:** Granite-Embedding-30m-English is a 30M parameter dense bi-encoder embedding model from the Granite Embeddings suite that can be used to generate high quality text embeddings. This model produces embedding vectors of size 384 and is trained using a combination of open source relevance-pair datasets with permissive, enterprise-friendly license, and IBM collected and generated datasets. While maintaining competitive scores on academic benchmarks such as BEIR, this model also performs well on many enterprise use cases. This model is developed using retrieval oriented pre-training, contrastive fine-tuning, knowledge distillation and model merging for improved performance. ***Granite-embedding-30m-r1.1*** was specifically designed to support multi-turn information retrieval and is designed to handle contextual document retrieval in multi-turn conversational information retrieval. Granite-embedding-30m-r1.1 was trained on data tailored for multi-turn conversational information retrieval and uses multi-teacher distillation over granite-embedding-30m-english (https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-embedding-30m-english) - **Developers:** Granite Embedding Team, IBM - **GitHub Repository:** ibm-granite/granite-embedding-models - **Website**: Granite Docs - **Paper:** Technical Report - **Release Date**: August 29, 2025 (granite-embedding-30m-english-r1.1) - **License:** Apache 2.0

Great models. Clear costs.

Cost analysis

Adjust monthly token usage to compare estimated API costs.

Uses collected, comparable USD-per-million-token rates. Snapshots exclude cache discounts, tiers, extra reasoning output and taxes. Check current source prices.

MODEL HANDBOOK

Understand before you choose

Selection guide & FAQ
How should API prices be compared?+

Separate input, output and cache rates, then estimate the same workload. Image, audio and video rates may use items, duration or resolution rather than tokens.

Do open weights mean free commercial use?+

Not necessarily. Check each version’s license, commercial restrictions and policies. Self-hosting also incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Is the top-ranked model the best for me?+

Rankings depend on tasks, versions and methods. Compare accuracy, latency, reliability and costs on your own workload.
