The author supplements his argument on decision models and embedding disruption with a reading list: INSTRUCTOR (one instruction-finetuned embedder covering 330+ tasks with SOTA results at an order of magnitude fewer parameters), GritLM (unified generative and embedding representations), FollowIR, InF-Embed, Gemini Embedding, and Gemini Embedding 2. Together they trace the research line of pushing more intelligence into the query/retrieval interface.
