The post states that NVIDIA achieved stellar embedding scores on the RTEB and has directly released the open weights.
The author is most excited about the 1B NVFP4 version: according to the post, including KV and CUDA overhead, its size stays under 2GB in many scenarios, making it perfect for local deployment. The post also stresses that high-quality embeddings are the foundation for local search, RAG, and the "chat with your data" experience; if retrieval is weak, even the smartest language model can't save the day.
