0:24

MTEB stands for Massive Text Embedding Benchmark. It is a standardized evaluation suite covering many languages and dozens of tasks, including retrieval, classification, clustering, and semantic similarity. The MTEB leaderboard is the main reference for comparing embedding models in 2026, with both proprietary models from OpenAI, Cohere, and Voyage and open models from BAAI, Jina, and Nomic.
