Architecture

Embedding controls
outputDimensionality reduces vector size. autoTruncate defaults to true; set false to reject text beyond the limit.Source for Embedding controls (opens in a new tab)
Retrieval task modes
RETRIEVAL_QUERY, RETRIEVAL_DOCUMENT, SEMANTIC_SIMILARITY, CLASSIFICATION, CLUSTERING, QUESTION_ANSWERING, FACT_VERIFICATION, CODE_RETRIEVAL_QUERYSource for Retrieval task modes (opens in a new tab)
Embedding task instructions
Default task is RETRIEVAL_QUERY. A title is valid only for RETRIEVAL_DOCUMENT. Code retrieval queries target Java and Python.Source for Embedding task instructions (opens in a new tab)
Request limits
The same guide states 250 texts / 20,000 tokens per request in its API limits section, but five texts in the REST instructions. The per-text 2,048-token limit agrees; the request-count discrepancy is unresolved.Source for Request limits (opens in a new tab)

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

API model ID

Access
Google Cloud project with billing and Agent Platform API enabled; IAM and regional quotas apply. Online prediction.
Regions
Region availability and project quotas must be checked for this exact model

Rate conditions

  1. Current pricing table labels the denominator as count without defining it. Legacy guidance describes character billing, but the current exact unit needs SKU verification. Do not convert this rate to tokens or use it in a question estimate.
  2. The pricing table explicitly states no output charge. Input is charged separately.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Google identifies this proprietary, Google-hosted model separately from open embedding models. No downloadable weights or open-weight license is supplied in the reviewed documentation; closed distribution is inferred, not a claim about unpublished architecture.
