Description
Embed 4 is Cohere's most performant multilingual multimodal embedding model.

Embed 4 offers state-of-the-art performance in Text-to-Text, Text-to-Image, and Text-to-Mixed Modality domains across 100+ languages. It can vectorize interleaved texts and images and capture key visual features from screenshots of PDFs, slides, tables, figures, and more. Output is a 1,536-dimensional vector with support for Matryoshka dimensions [256, 512, 1024, 1536].
