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. ### jina-embeddings-v3 | Benchmark | Conditions | Result | Reported by | Revision | Date | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | |

That is jina-embeddings-v3 at 16-bit, 1.1 GB of it weights, dropping to 0.7 GB at 8-bit and 0.3 GB at 4-bit. It turns text into vectors for retrieval, clustering and classification across languages, with five LoRA adapters that switch the embedding to the task and an 8,194-token context. On the cheapest accelerator we price, one MI300X at $1.85 per hour with 192 GB, 572M parameters are a rounding error; it belongs beside a larger model on hardware you already run. The license is the catch. CC BY-NC 4.0 permits sharing and adapting with credit for non-commercial purposes only, so a deployment that earns revenue needs separate permission from the rights holder; settle that in writing first. Then pick the published format that fits your stack, safetensors, ONNX or PyTorch, and plan disk for the 5.7 GB download even though a 16-bit load takes 1.4 GB. SAVRN Research, 2026-09-18 ## SAVRN's Notes on Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B 596M parameters with a 32,768-token context: the smallest of Qwen's embedding series embeds and reranks across retrieval, code retrieval, classification, clustering and bitext mining, at 1.4 GB in 16-bit memory, 0.7 GB at 8-bit and 0.4 GB at 4-bit. The cheapest setup we list, one 192 GB MI300X at $1.85 an hour, is a card it will share with the generator it feeds. It draws 9.7M downloads a month. Apache 2.0 makes it a clean component to ship. It derives from Qwen3-0.6B-Base and serves through sentence-transformers as a Qwen3ForCausalLM, so confirm your stack loads it that way; the method is in arXiv:2506.05176. The card pegs the 8B sibling at No.1 on the MTEB multilingual leaderboard, 70.58 as of June 5, 2025 — a different memory line if you need that ceiling. No Index host prices it per token, so the comparison is your own accelerator time. SAVRN Research ## Questions ### Which is larger, jina-embeddings-v3 or Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B? Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B (596M parameters) is larger than jina-embeddings-v3 (572M parameters), by the parameter counts their publishers report. ### Which is cheaper to run, jina-embeddings-v3 or Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B? At 4-bit, jina-embeddings-v3 fits on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour and Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B on 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists. ### Can I use jina-embeddings-v3 commercially?
