An evaluation row appears only where at least two of these models report the same benchmark with the same stated configuration, metric, unit and setup. Different evaluators stay named in each cell. Values are shown as reported: no unit conversion, no ranking.

Other Reported Results

These results are listed for each model on its own, because the conditions needed to compare them are not stated or do not match. Two results that leave a condition blank are not assumed to share it.

SAVRN's Notes on bge-large-en-v1.5

Eight tenths of a gigabyte. That is what this embedding model needs at 16-bit, falling to 0.4 GB at 8-bit and 0.2 GB at 4-bit. The cheapest row in our table, one MI300X with 192 GB at $1.85 per hour on-demand, describes the smallest card a host rents, not anything a 335M-parameter, 24-layer BERT encoder demands; the rest of that card is headroom. The float32 checkpoint is 4.0 GB, five times the 16-bit footprint.

MIT is about as short as a license gets: commercial use, modification and redistribution, if the copyright and permission notices travel with the files. Context is 512 tokens, so longer passages must be chunked, and the publisher's summary steers anyone wanting longer inputs or more languages toward bge-m3, described as taking input up to 8192. The Index carries no host price per token for it, so self-hosting is the route we can price.

SAVRN's Notes on mxbai-embed-large-v1

Every query you send this embedding model for retrieval needs the publisher's search prompt ahead of it; passages need none. Sizing is easy: 335M parameters, 0.8 GB of memory at 16-bit, and at $1.85 per hour on-demand for a single 192 GB MI300X, our cheapest listed option, the card spends most of its life waiting for text. The 512 token context is the practical limit, a short passage per call; plan your chunking around it.

Deployment is simple under Apache 2.0: commercial use, modification and redistribution are permitted, you keep the license, copyright notices and any NOTICE file, state significant changes, and contributors give an express patent grant. Before committing, note the download is 21 files and 5.36 GB across safetensors, gguf, onnx and openvino, so pull only what your stack reads, and that the evaluations are publisher-reported MTEB classification numbers; run your own retrieval set first.

Questions

Which is larger, bge-large-en-v1.5 or mxbai-embed-large-v1?

bge-large-en-v1.5 (335M parameters) is larger than mxbai-embed-large-v1 (335M parameters), by the parameter counts their publishers report.

Which is cheaper to run, bge-large-en-v1.5 or mxbai-embed-large-v1?

At 4-bit, bge-large-en-v1.5 fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour and mxbai-embed-large-v1 on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.
