The Voyage 4 model family from Voyage AI is a new generation of text embedding models designed to produce high-quality semantic vectors with an industry-first shared embedding space that lets different models in the series generate compatible embeddings so developers can mix and match models for document and query embedding to optimize accuracy, latency, and cost trade-offs. It includes voyage-4-large (a flagship model using a mixture-of-experts architecture delivering state-of-the-art retrieval accuracy at about 40% lower serving cost than comparable dense models), voyage-4 (balancing quality and efficiency), voyage-4-lite (high-quality embeddings with fewer parameters and lower compute cost), and the open-weight voyage-4-nano (ideal for local development and prototyping with an Apache 2.0 license). All four models in the series operate in a single shared embedding space, so embeddings generated by different variants are interchangeable, enabling asymmetric retrieval strategies.
