Text, images, speech and environmental sounds in one embedding space. Vela Omni Mini supports multimodal search, routing and clustering with normalized vectors that can be compared directly. Scores are 0–100; higher is better. The comparison uses the same held-out evaluation examples, complete retrieval pools and 128-token text cap for both models. Bold marks improvement over the original large model. These known test pools are reused across releases. The common protocol uses labeled TRAIN prototypes for text classification and all matching positives for retrieval; it is separate from official MTEB classification. All 14 metrics, Macro-F1, exact counts and uncertainty. The primary metric…
