Jina Embeddings
Embedding models designed around long inputs and multilingual coverage.
Overview
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.
