granite-embedding-30m-english

ibm-granite · granite-embedding-30m-english

**Model Summary:** Granite-Embedding-30m-English is a 30M parameter dense bi-encoder embedding model from the Granite Embeddings suite that can be used to generate high quality text embeddings. This model produces embedding vectors of size 384 and is trained using a combination of open source relevance-pair datasets with permissive, enterprise-friendly license, and IBM collected and generated datasets. While maintaining competitive scores on academic benchmarks such as BEIR, this model also performs well on many enterprise use cases. This model is developed using retrieval oriented pre-training, contrastive fine-tuning, knowledge distillation and model merging for improved performance. ***Granite-embedding-30m-r1.1*** was specifically designed to support multi-turn information retrieval and is designed to handle contextual document retrieval in multi-turn conversational information retrieval. Granite-embedding-30m-r1.1 was trained on data tailored for multi-turn conversational information retrieval and uses multi-teacher distillation over granite-embedding-30m-english (https://huggingface.co/ibm-granite/granite-embedding-30m-english) - **Developers:** Granite Embedding Team, IBM - **GitHub Repository:** ibm-granite/granite-embedding-models - **Website**: Granite Docs - **Paper:** Technical Report - **Release Date**: August 29, 2025 (granite-embedding-30m-english-r1.1) - **License:** Apache 2.0

Frequently asked questions

Do open weights permit free commercial use?

Not necessarily. Check the version license, commercial conditions and usage policies. Self-hosting incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Are these real-time billing prices?

These are timestamped source snapshots, not live billing prices. Check the channel for current versions, regions, discounts and billing methods.
