Snowflake's Arctic-embed-s 12/04/2024: Release of snowflake-arctic-embed-l-v2.0 and snowflake-arctic-embed-m-v2.0 our newest models with multilingual workloads in mind. These models outperform prior versions of Arctic Embed and we suggest these replace prior versions! 07/26/2024: Release preprint [[2407.18887] Embedding And Clustering Your Data Can Improve Contrastive Pretraining](https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.18887) on arXiv. 07/18/2024: Release of snowflake-arctic-embed-m-v1.5, capable of producing highly compressible embedding vectors that preserve quality even when squished as small as 128 bytes per vector. Details about the development of this model are available in the launch post on the Snowflake engineering blog. 05/10/2024: Release the technical report on Arctic Embed 04/16/2024: Release the snowflake-arctic-embed family of text embedding models. The releases are state-of-the-art for Retrieval quality at each of their representative size profiles. Technical Report is coming shortly. For more details, please refer to our Github: Arctic-Text-Embed. snowflake-arctic-embed is a suite of text embedding models that focuses on creating high-quality retrieval models optimized for…

Compatibility and lineage
Language coverage was not reported.
Base-model lineage was not included.
Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.
Use and evaluate
Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.
No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
