Embedding Model
Infrastructure· Intermediate
Definition
A model specifically designed to convert text (or other data) into dense vector embeddings optimized for retrieval and semantic similarity tasks. Distinct from generative models — embedding models like text-embedding-3 or E5 are trained specifically to produce high-quality vector representations.
