Retired by Cohere
embed-english-light-v2.0 passed away on April 4, 2026, by scheduled deprecation, in a data center it never saw. It turned sentences into numbers, quietly, millions of times a day. Calls to its ID are now expected to fail.
Its work passes to embed-v4.0, which the family describes as 'recommended'.
