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.

Instructor

model · Embedding Models

Instructor embeds text together with an instruction describing what the embedding is for, so one model serves retrieval, clustering and classification without fine-tuning for each. It solves the problem that a single fixed embedding cannot be optimal for several different tasks, and fine-tuning a copy per task is expensive and easy to get wrong. It exists because telling the model what kind of similarity you want is a cheap substitute for training it to want that.
