Cohere Embed-v3

Cohere Embed-v3 is a state-of-the-art text embedding model designed specifically for RAG and semantic search, featuring multi-modal understanding of document quality and support for compressed vector formats (int8, binary). It utilizes specialized input types—such as 'search_query' and 'search_document'—to bridge the asymmetric gap between short user questions and long-form context retrieval.
