Google: Gemini Embedding 001
google/gemini-embedding-001
gemini-embedding-001 provides a unified cutting edge experience across domains, including science, legal, finance, and coding. This embedding model has consistently held a top spot on the Massive Text Embedding Benchmark (MTEB) Multilingual leaderboard since the experimental launch in March.
Providers
Different companies host the same model. OpenRouter routes your request to one of them based on the routing mode you pick: Balanced (price + speed), Nitro (fastest), or Floor (cheapest).

Performance
Latency is how long it takes to return the full response (lower is better).

Uptime
Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.
