AS
Engineer at Roche
Have improved project workflows using faster response times and reduced data embedding costs
One thing that Cohere can improve is related to some distances when I am trying similarity search. Let's suppose I have provided textual data that has been embedded. I have to use some extra process from numpy after embedding the model. In the case of OpenAI embedding models, I do not have to use that extra process, and they provide lower distances compared to my results from Cohere. I was getting distances of approximately 0.005 sometimes, but in the case of Cohere, I was getting distances around 0.5 or sometimes more than that. I think that can be improved. It was possibly because of some configuration or the way I was using it, but I am not exactly sure about that.
