text-embedding-3-small is the inexpensive half of OpenAI’s embedding pair. It produces 1,536 numbers per text — the same size as the older ada-002, so it drops into an existing search index — and beats ada-002 on both the MTEB benchmark (62.3% against 61.0%) and multilingual search.

For English-language search and recommendations it is close enough to the large model that the saving usually wins. Where documents are in several languages, the large model’s lead is wide enough to be worth paying for.

• Semantic search and retrieval on a budget.
• Finding duplicates and grouping similar items.
• Recommendations.

• Noticeably weaker than text-embedding-3-large on multilingual search.
• Each piece of text can be at most 8,192 tokens.

Roar AI provides access to text-embedding-3-small through the Roar AI gateway, charged in Australian dollars on one bill with every other model.
