Nomic Embed v2
The first MoE embedding model — 100+ languages, Apache 2.0, with training data included.
About
Nomic Embed Text v2, released February 12, 2025, is the first general-purpose mixture-of-experts text embedding model. Of its 475 million parameters only 305 million are active per token, keeping inference cheap while covering 100+ languages. Nomic published the weights, training data, and code under Apache 2.0, and the 768-dimensional outputs support Matryoshka truncation to 256 dims. It needs Nomic's specific search_query/search_document prompt prefixes to perform best.
