I Benchmarked Every Embedding Model Worth Running. Here's What I'd Actually Deploy.
We went from nomic-embed-text to OpenAI's text-embedding-3-small and thought we'd upgraded. Turns out we'd moved from bad to mediocre. Here's the full landscape of self-hosted embedding models in 2026, organized by what you can actually run on your hardware.
