So just to be super clear, this is an embedding model. It generates no text. It’s not outputting words.

Maybe I am assuming incorrectly, but I think the poor performance you are referring to is the old Ada completion model, where the output is text. That was poor indeed.

This article is not kind to the old ada embeddings model:

If the new ada model only has marginal improvements, it seems open source is way to go.
