text-embedding-3-large

text-embedding-3-large converts text into vectors for matching, retrieval and grouping. It supports English and other languages and returns numerical representations rather than chat answers.

Vector dimensions can be reduced

The default vector has 3,072 dimensions. The dimensions parameter can request a shorter representation. The model page lists $0.13 per million input tokens; storage and vector-search costs belong to the separate retrieval system.text-embedding-3-large official model documentationOpenAI embedding dimensions and retrieval guide

Choose dimensions with a retrieval comparison

Practical guidance. Use representative queries and known relevant documents to compare shorter vectors. Measure missed results as well as storage size. Keep query and document embeddings on the same model and dimension settings when building an index.
