Overview
Voyage AI provides state-of-the-art embedding models specifically optimized for search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Founded by researchers from Stanford and Google, Voyage focuses exclusively on embeddings, achieving superior performance on retrieval benchmarks compared to general-purpose embedding models.
The company offers domain-specific embedding models optimized for different use cases (code, finance, legal, etc.), providing better accuracy than one-size-fits-all solutions. Voyage's models consistently top the MTEB (Massive Text Embedding Benchmark) leaderboard, demonstrating measurable quality advantages.
