What is Text Embedding 3 Small good for?

OpenAI ships this model for turning text into vectors; on uttapen it is "openai/text-embedding-3-small" and it lives on /v1/embeddings. Each input can hold up to 8,192 tokens, so large chunks embed without being cut. Of the 35 paid embedding models in the catalogue, 15 cost less per input token.

The dimensions parameter shortens the vector, trading a little recall for less storage and faster search. It is multilingual, which matters for Persian text; still, measure it on a few dozen real questions against your own documents before committing.

Only input tokens are billed. Indexing a thousand 500-token documents (500k tokens) costs about 3,462.19 toman here; the vectors are built once and afterwards only queries cost anything. For an alternative at a similar price, look at Titan Text Embeddings V2 from Amazon.

Provider's own description

text-embedding-3-small is OpenAI's improved, more performant version of the ada embedding model. Embeddings are a numerical representation of text that can be used to measure the relatedness between two pieces...

Frequently asked

How do I get vectors from Text Embedding 3 Small?
Create an API key, point the official OpenAI SDK's base_url at https://api.uttapen.ir/v1 and call client.embeddings.create with model "openai/text-embedding-3-small" and an input string or list of strings. Each input comes back as one vector in data.
What does Text Embedding 3 Small cost in toman?
6,924 toman per 1M input tokens, and output is free. You pay for the input tokens the request reported; a failed request costs nothing.
Can I use Text Embedding 3 Small for chat?
No. An embedding model writes no text, so chat/completions with it returns 400. For RAG, build the vectors here and let a chat model write the answer.
