What are good open embedding models for RAG and semantic search?
It depends on your task, available memory, file format and license. The records below match this guide’s filters. Check the linked file evidence before choosing: a catalog match does not prove runtime support, safety or answer quality.
An answer pack is a question-specific filter over catalog records. It is not a benchmark, safety review or guarantee that a model will run.
License terms and download availability are separate. Read the exact upstream license before using a model.
