If you’ve worked with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) models before, you know they act like expert reporters! They don’t just rely on their own “knowledge” but retrieve relevant information to craft more accurate responses. However, for this process to work well, choosing the right embedding is vital. Here are the key considerations for selecting the best embedding:<\/p>\n

Context Window<\/p>\n

This refers to the maximum number of tokens the model can process simultaneously. Models like text-embedding-ada-002 with an 8192-token window and Cohere with a 4096-token window are great for long documents.<\/p>\n

The larger the window, the deeper and more continuous the text analysis.<\/p>\n

Tokenization Method<\/p>\n

Tokens are the units that the model analyzes the text by.<\/p>\n

The most common methods are: \u2022 Subword methods like BPE: Great for rare or specialized words<\/p>\n
