First Mixture-of-Experts text embedding model with 100-language multilingual support
nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v2-moemixpeek://text_extractor@v1/nomic_embed_v2_moe_v1Overview
Nomic Embed Text v2 MoE is the first general-purpose Mixture-of-Experts text embedding model, using 8 experts with top-2 routing to deliver 475M total parameters but only 305M active at inference. Trained on 1.6B high-quality pairs with consistency filtering, it achieves state-of-the-art performance on both BEIR and MIRACL benchmarks while remaining competitive with models twice its size.
On Mixpeek, nomic-embed-text-v2-moe provides efficient multilingual text embeddings for search pipelines that span ~100 languages, with Matryoshka dimension support (768 down to 256) for flexible storage and retrieval tradeoffs.
Architecture
Mixture-of-Experts transformer encoder with 8 experts, top-2 routing. 475M total parameters, 305M active during inference. Trained with weakly-supervised contrastive pretraining followed by supervised fine-tuning. Matryoshka representation learning for flexible output dimensions.
Mixpeek SDK Integration
// No extractor parameter takes a Hugging Face model id (checked against
// GET /v1/discovery/extractors, which returns 13), so nomic-embed-text-v2-moe runs
// on your side and the output is upserted through POST
// /v1/namespaces/{namespace_id}/documents/upsert. On Enterprise the other
// path is to upload the weights instead: POST /v1/namespaces/{id}/models
// accepts the huggingface format and a custom plugin loads them.
