Model types
The catalog contains two classes of models, distinguished by what they produce.Generative models
Produce text as output. These models reason, follow instructions, and generate responses. They serve as an agent’s cognitive engine and are the models you fine-tune and deploy for inference.
Embedding models
Produce a fixed-length vector of numbers as output, and generate no language. Embedding models turn documents and queries into comparable vectors, which is what makes semantic search in a vector database possible.
Model attributes
Every model in the catalog reports the following attributes.Country of origin
Country of origin identifies where a model originated. Deployments with model provenance requirements, including government and other highly regulated environments, use it to determine whether a model is permitted for a given workload. The catalog spans several countries of origin. Review this attribute before selecting a model if your deployment restricts model provenance. Some models have no single country of origin and are listed as Mixed. Mixed origins apply when a model’s corporate parent and its development lab are based in different countries, or when a model was fine-tuned in one country from a base model developed in another.Confirm provenance directly with Seekr before using a model with mixed origins in a deployment that restricts model provenance.
