embed-english-v3.0

Use Cohere embed-english-v3.0 with Pinecone for English embeddings: 1024 dimensions, cosine or dot product, and query vs document input types.

Back to all models

Ideal for easy to use text embeddings where short queries are expected to return medium-length passages of text (1-2 paragraphs)..

Must add input_type="search_document" to requests when embedding passages/documents, and input_type="search_query" when embedding queries. See here for an example.

Python
!pip install -qU cohere==4.34 pinecone
Python
from pinecone import Pinecone, ServerlessSpec

pc = Pinecone(api_key="API_KEY")

# Create Index
index_name = "cohere-embed-english-v3"

if not pc.has_index(index_name):
    pc.create_index(
        name=index_name,
        dimension=1024,
        metric="cosine",
        spec=ServerlessSpec(
            cloud='aws',
            region='us-east-1'
        )
    )

index = pc.Index(index_name)

# Embed data
