New embedding model leaderboard shakeup: Google takes #1 while Alibaba’s open source alternative closes gap


Google's new Gemini Embedding model now leads the MTEB benchmark. But it is facing fierce competition from closed and open source rivals.

For enterprises, embedding models can power more accurate internal search engines, sophisticated document clustering, classification tasks, sentiment analysis and anomaly detection. It also offers deployment on virtual private clouds or on-premises, providing a level of data security that directly appeals to regulated industries such as finance and healthcare. For enterprises focused on software development, Qodo’s Qodo-Embed-1-1.5B presents another compelling open-source alternative, designed specifically for code and claiming to outperform larger models on domain-specific benchmarks.
