Nomic Embed Text
Nomic Embed Text is a quantized GGUF version of a text embedding model hosted on Hugging Face. It belongs to the class of foundation models and carries the tasks of sentence similarity and feature extraction. The model is provided under the Apache 2.0 license.
It is delivered as files that run with llama.cpp and the llama-cpp-python library. Users install llama-cpp-python via pip and load the model by specifying the repository nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5-GGUF together with a chosen quantized filename such as nomic-embed-text-v1.5.Q2_K.gguf. The same repository can be used directly with the llama.cpp command-line tools on macOS and Linux. Commands include starting a local OpenAI-compatible server with a web UI or running inference from the terminal.
The model was created by Nomic AI. It has been liked 121 times on Hugging Face and the organization maintains 1.18k followers there. No pricing information appears for the model itself because it is distributed as an open-source artifact under the stated license.
