Cohere Embed 5: One Index, Two Speeds
Cohere releases Embed 5 and compares it to Voyage 4 Large, Gemini Embedding 2, and OpenAI on retrieval benchmarks.
#Cohere#Embeddings#RAG#Enterprise AI#Multimodal

š„ What happened
Cohere dropped Embed 5: two embedding models (Pro and Fast) sharing one vector space. Index with Pro, query with Fast ā no quality loss. Both handle text, images, and 128K tokens across 100+ languages.
š” Why it matters
Fast processes 377 docs/sec vs. Pro's 160 ā at 98.4% of Pro's quality. That's the lever for agents firing dozens of searches per task. Storage drops from 819 GB to 3.2 GB across 100M chunks.
ā” Our take
Cohere built the first embedding model for the agent economy. But the benchmarks use Cohere's own RCP-nDCG@10 metric ā independent replication is still pending.
