Embeddings models that run on 128 GB

60 models with published weights that fit in 128 GB — a large Mac or a server card. Counted at four-bit quantisation, weights only, leaving the machine about a third of its memory and a gigabyte for context: room for roughly 136 billion parameters. A mixture of experts is counted in full, because it is held in full even though only a few experts compute.

A large Mac or a server card. This is where the biggest openly published models come within reach — and where the distinction between total and active parameters starts to decide everything, because a mixture of experts computes with a fraction of itself and must still be held whole.

Models that turn text into a vector so it can be searched by meaning rather than by words. They are cheap — usually cents per million tokens, and often priced for input only, since nothing comes back but numbers. Two things decide the choice: the dimension of the vector, which sets what your database will cost to hold, and whether the model was trained for your language. Changing model later means re-embedding everything you have.
