Jina Embeddings

model · Embedding Models

Jina Embeddings are embedding models built with long-context inputs as a design goal rather than a limitation to work around, so a whole document section can be embedded instead of a truncated fragment. It solves the chunking problem: when the encoder caps at a few hundred tokens, long documents must be split, and the split loses the context that made the passage meaningful. It exists because retrieval quality is often limited by what had to be discarded before embedding rather than by the model itself.

Nomic Embed

model · Embedding Models

Nomic Embed is an open embedding model released with an open training dataset and reproducible training run, as well as long-context support. It solves two problems at once: most open embedding models publish weights but not the data they were trained on, which makes their behaviour hard to reason about, and most cap inputs short of a document. It exists because an embedding model whose training data is inspectable can be evaluated for the biases that come from that data.
