Excited to Announce Voyage Embeddings!
Blog post from Voyage AI
Voyage, a team of AI researchers, has launched a new state-of-the-art embedding model and API that surpasses existing public models like OpenAI's text embeddings in retrieval accuracy, particularly for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications. Their model, voyage-01, has been shown to outperform OpenAI's latest offerings on the Massive Text Embeddings Benchmark (MTEB) and nine additional real-world industry domain datasets. By leveraging a novel dataset and proprietary training methods, Voyage offers enhanced retrieval quality, long context windows, and efficient inference. Their embeddings are already improving the performance of chatbots, such as the one used by LangChain, and are customizable for specific domains like coding and finance to further enhance accuracy and reduce costs. The company aims to support developers in building advanced retrieval systems, offering free embedding trials for organizations and fine-tuning services for domain-specific datasets.
