Research/base checkpoint or historical revision; a separately callable selector has not been verified.
Access
Base encoder named in the retrieval model card; no standalone API selector verified.
Regions
Product, deployment, and region restrictions apply. This record does not imply global availability or residency.
Endpoint pricing has not been collected. Check the provider for applicable rates.
Data & enterprise terms
Retention, training use, regional processing and enterprise terms have not been summarized for this endpoint.
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
IBM documents its internal Slate encoder base, formerly WatBERT for the 125M model. Closed-weight classification is inferred for this exact proprietary checkpoint; public Granite Embedding successors are different releases. A standalone public weight artifact or public base-model endpoint was not verified.
