Discover models worth your attention

**answerai-colbert-small-v1** is a new, proof-of-concept model by Answer.AI, showing the strong performance multi-vector models with the new JaColBERTv2.5 training recipe and some extra tweaks can reach, even with just **33 million parameters**. While being MiniLM-sized, it outperforms all previous similarly-sized models on common benchmarks, and even outperforms much larger popular models such as e5-large-v2 or bge-base-en-v1.5. For more information about this model or how it was trained, head over to the announcement blogpost.

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.
