Embed V1 0.6B is the compact member of Perplexity's embedding family. At 0.6B parameters it targets lightweight, low-latency embedding generation while retaining solid retrieval quality, which suits high-throughput semantic search and on-the-edge RAG. It accepts up to 32K tokens of input and outputs embedding vectors.

Embed V1 0.6B is best suited to high-volume semantic search, cost-sensitive RAG and fast re-ranking. The model works with a context window of about 32K tokens, so it comfortably handles long inputs. It is served through Hormouz behind an OpenAI-compatible API. Point your base URL at Hormouz and use a Hormouz key, and your existing embedding-endpoint code keeps working.

Pricing is usage-based at $0.004 per million input tokens; because it returns embeddings there is no separate output-token charge. Hormouz provides stable access to the model from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.

pplx-embed-v1-0.6B is one of Perplexity's state-of-the-art text embedding models built for real-world, web-scale retrieval. pplx-embed-v1 is optimized for standard dense text retrieval with the 0.6B parameter model targeting lightweight, low-latency...
