Flexible output size- 3,072default
Default output: 3,072 dimensions.
OpenAI documents shorter output vectors for this model (Matryoshka-style), so you can store smaller embeddings by asking for fewer dimensions instead of re-embedding with another model.
Pricing
- Per 1M input tokens
- $0.13
- Batch, per 1M
- Not stated
Standard input price per 1M tokens; no separate Batch embedding rate is listed on the pricing page.
Usage
The sources read for this directory publish no copyable snippet for text-embedding-3-large. Call it with the model id text-embedding-3-large as shown in the provider docs linked under Sources.
Worth knowing
OpenAI describes it as its most capable embedding model for both English and non-English tasks, and the dimensions parameter can shorten its 3072-dimension vectors (for example to 1024 or 256).
Release date not stated in the sources. Multilingual: yes.
FAQ
How many dimensions does text-embedding-3-large output?
Default output: 3,072 dimensions. OpenAI documents shorter output vectors for this model (Matryoshka-style), so you can store smaller embeddings by asking for fewer dimensions instead of re-embedding with another model.
What is the max input length of text-embedding-3-large?
8,192 tokens per input, per OpenAI's documentation. Longer text has to be chunked before you embed it.
How much does text-embedding-3-large cost?
The first-party list price is $0.13 per 1M input tokens. Standard input price per 1M tokens; no separate Batch embedding rate is listed on the pricing page. Source: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing.
What can text-embedding-3-large embed?
Text input, per the provider. It is documented as multilingual.
