Excited for my first public contribution at @OpenAI — Embeddings v2: it unifies text search, text similarity, and code search, outperforms our best v1 models at most tasks, while being priced 99.8% cheaper!

Our new embedding model is significantly more capable at language processing and code tasks, cost effective, and simpler to use.
