Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B
This instruction-aware embedding checkpoint supports more than 100 languages and a 32,000-token context.
Practical use
Practical guidance. Start with the smallest embedding size when indexing a large collection. Compare retrieval recall at several vector dimensions before fixing the index format; changing dimensions later requires rebuilding stored vectors.
