Developers can now natively use the Elastic
vector database to store and search Cohere’s new int8 text
embeddings
Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), the company behind Elasticsearch®, today
announced the Elasticsearch open Inference API now supports
Cohere’s text embedding models. This includes Elasticsearch native
support for efficient int8 embeddings, which optimize performance
and reduce memory cost for semantic search across the large
datasets commonly found in enterprise scenarios.
With this integration, Elasticsearch developers can experience
immediate performance gains, including up to 4x memory savings and
up to 30% faster search, without impacting search quality.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Elastic to bring
state-of-the-art search solutions to enterprises,” said Jaron
Waldman, chief product officer at Cohere. “Elasticsearch
delivers strong vector retrieval performance on large datasets, and
their native support for Cohere’s Embed v3 models with int8
compression helps unlock gains in performance, efficiency, and
search quality for enterprise-grade deployments of semantic search
and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)."
“Developers who want to build more intuitive and accurate
semantic search experiences for enterprise use cases need to look
at Elasticsearch and Cohere,” said Shay Banon, founder &
chief technology officer at Elastic. “Innovation is rarely
insular, and our work with the great team at Cohere showcases how
we bring developers the best of both worlds. The Cohere and Elastic
communities now have great models to generate embeddings with
support for inference workloads and seamless integration into the
leading search and analytics platform that has invested in creating
the best vector database.”
Support for Cohere embeddings is available in preview with
Elastic 8.13 and will soon be generally available in an upcoming
Elasticsearch release.
