@SnowflakeDB is open sourcing the best embedding models in the world! 🚀🚀
They are now available open source in @huggingface We are releasing it under the Apache 2 license so that it is easy for the OSS community to experiment with them freely.🎁🎁
These impressive models are the result of @Neeva's
expertise in search, state-of-the-art research, and @SnowflakeDB ’s steadfast commitment to excellence in AI.
It’s incredible to see what the team has built, and even better to delight our customers day after day with our latest innovations.
