Cohere Embed v4 transforms text, images, and mixed content into unified vector representations for semantic search, RAG, document clustering, and similarity matching. The model supports 1,536-dimensional embeddings with flexible compression via Matryoshka embeddings (256, 512, 1024, 1536 dimensions). Priced at $0.12/1M text tokens and $0.47/1M image tokens, it delivers multimodal capabilities competitive with text-only alternatives. The API supports batch processing up to 128,000 tokens per request with asymmetric search optimization. Limitation: incompatible with v3 embeddings; corpus re-embedding required for upgrades.
