Embed V1 0.6B is an embedding model from Perplexity: it turns text into a vector rather than writing a reply. Call it as "perplexity/
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 692.44 toman here; the vectors are built once and afterwards only queries cost anything. For an alternative at a similar price, look at bge-base-en-v1.5 from BAAI.
pplx-embed-v1-0.6B is one of Perplexity's state-of-the-art text embedding models built for real-world, web-scale retrieval. pplx-embed-v1 is optimized for standard dense text retrieval with the 0.6B parameter model targeting lightweight, low-latency...

Frequently asked
- How do I get vectors from Embed V1 0.6B?
- 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 "perplexity/ pplx-embed-v1-0.6b" and an input string or list of strings. Each input comes back as one vector in data. - What does Embed V1 0.6B cost in toman?
- 1,385 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 Embed V1 0.6B 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.
