Cohere int8 & binary Embeddings - Scale Your Vector Database to Large Datasets

Jo Kristian Bergum told me "The accuracy retention [of binary embedding vectors] is sensitive to whether the model has been using this binarization as part of the loss function."

Cohere provide an API for embeddings, and last week added support for returning binary vectors specifically tuned in this way.

250M embeddings (Cohere provide a downloadable dataset of 250M embedded documents from Wikipedia) at float32 (4 bytes) is …
