Today, we're excited to announce the public preview of data residency in Europe for the Atlas Embedding and Reranking API Service (ERAS).
European teams can now use Voyage AI embedding and reranking models through @MongoDB Atlas while keeping inference within the selected Europe geography—helping organizations meet data-residency requirements while building accurate AI-powered search and retrieval. https://t.co/pDbQKqf3lU
embedding — A list of numbers representing a piece of text's meaning, so that similar meanings end up numerically close and can be searched.
reranking — A second pass that re-scores retrieved candidates by reading each one against the query, fixing the ordering that fast vector search got approximately right.
inference — Running a trained model to get answers — the phase where AI is actually used, as opposed to trained.
