OpenAI's NEW Embedding Models

From the creator

OpenAI's new embedding models are text-embedding-3-small and text-embedding-3-large. These models are better than Ada 002 (text-embedding-ada-002), and we have the option of latency and storage-optimized text-embedding-3-smallor the higher accuracy text-embedding-3-large. Key takeaways here are the pretty huge performance gains for multilingual embeddings — measured by the leap from 31.4% to 54.9% on the MIRACL benchmark. For English-language performance, we look at MTEB and see a smaller but still significant increase from 61% to 64.6%. It's worth noting that the max tokens and knowledge cutoff have not changed. That lack of new knowledge represents a minor drawback for use cases performing retrieval in domains requiring up-to-date knowledge. We also have a different embedding dimensionality for the new v3 large model, resulting in higher storage costs and paired with higher embedding costs than what we get with Ada 002. Now, there is some nuance to the dimensionality of these models. By default, these models use the dimensionality noted above. However, it turns out that they still perform even if we cut down those vectors. For v3 small, we can keep just the first 512 dimensions. For v3 large, we can trim the vectors down to a tiny 256-dimensions or a more midsized 1024-dimensions. 📕 Article: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/openai-embeddings-v3/ 📌 Code: https://github.com/pinecone-io/examples/blob/master/learn/search/semantic-search/openai-embed-v3/openai-embed-v3.ipynb 🌲 Subscribe for Latest Articles and Videos: https://www.pinecone.io/newsletter-signup/ 👋🏼 AI Consulting: https://aurelio.ai 👾 Discord: https://discord.gg/c5QtDB9RAP Twitter: https://twitter.com/jamescalam LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamescalam/ 00:00 OpenAI Ada 002 01:25 New OpenAI Embedding Models 03:50 OpenAI Embedding Dimension Parameter 05:04 Using OpenAI Embedding 3 10:08 Comparing Ada 002 to Embed 3 #openai #ai #artificialintelligence #nlp

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
