Best Fit
- Personal document search.
- Local RAG prototypes.
- Low-memory machines.
- Apps that need a small embedding model before moving to larger options.
Hardware Notes
Embedding models are usually cheaper to run than chat models. The bigger constraint is often index size, chunking quality, and storage rather than inference memory.
