fastText
fastText is an open source, free, and lightweight library developed by Facebook's AI Research (FAIR) lab for efficient learning of word representations and text classification. It supports both unsupervised learning of word vectors and supervised learning for text classification tasks. A key feature of fastText is its ability to capture subword information by representing words as bags of character n-grams, which enhances the handling of morphologically rich languages and out-of-vocabulary words. The library is optimized for performance and capable of training on large datasets quickly, and the resulting models can be reduced in size for deployment on mobile devices. Pre-trained word vectors are available for 157 languages, trained on Common Crawl and Wikipedia data, and can be downloaded for immediate use. fastText also offers aligned word vectors for 44 languages, facilitating cross-lingual natural language processing tasks.

Cohere Embed
Cohere's Embed is a leading multimodal embedding platform designed to transform text, images, or a combination of both into high-quality vector representations. These embeddings are optimized for semantic search, retrieval-augmented generation, classification, clustering, and agentic AI applications. The latest model, embed-v4.0, supports mixed-modality inputs, allowing users to combine text and images into a single embedding. It offers Matryoshka embeddings with configurable dimensions of 256, 512, 1024, or 1536, enabling flexibility in balancing performance and resource usage. With a context length of up to 128,000 tokens, embed-v4.0 is well-suited for processing large documents and complex data structures. It also supports compressed embedding types, including float, int8, uint8, binary, and ubinary, facilitating efficient storage and faster retrieval in vector databases. Multilingual support spans over 100 languages, making it a versatile tool for global applications.

LexVec
LexVec is a word embedding model that achieves state-of-the-art results in multiple natural language processing tasks by factorizing the Positive Pointwise Mutual Information (PPMI) matrix using stochastic gradient descent. This approach assigns heavier penalties for errors on frequent co-occurrences while accounting for negative co-occurrences. Pre-trained vectors are available, including a common crawl dataset with 58 billion tokens and 2 million words in 300 dimensions, and an English Wikipedia 2015 + NewsCrawl dataset with 7 billion tokens and 368,999 words in 300 dimensions. Evaluations demonstrate that LexVec matches or outperforms other models like word2vec in terms of word similarity and analogy tasks. The implementation is open source under the MIT License and is available on GitHub.
