Embeddings are a powerful tool for working with text. By “embedding” text into vectors, you encode its meaning into a representation that can more easily be used for tasks like semantic search, clustering, and classification. To learn more, check out our guide on embeddings.

bge-large-en-v1.5 is a state-of-the-art open source model for text embeddings. It is ranked higher than OpenAI embeddings on the MTEB leaderboard, and is 4x cheaper to run on Replicate for large-scale text embedding.

The “BAAI General Embedding” (BGE) suite of models, released by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), are open source and available on the Hugging Face Hub.
