Voyage AI voyage-3

О Voyage AI

Основана в 2023 · Palo Alto, California, USA

Voyage AI was founded in 2023 by Tengyu Ma, an associate professor of Computer Science at Stanford and a recognised researcher on optimisation and representation learning, together with co-founders Dawn Song and Christopher Re among the technical advisory team. The company set out to build best-in-class retrieval and reranking models for RAG, with explicit emphasis on domain-specific variants (code, finance, law, multilingual). Voyage AI raised $20M in seed and Series A funding from CRV, Wing VC, Conviction, AME Cloud, Snowflake and others before being acquired by MongoDB for $220M in February 2025 as the foundational embedding layer for Atlas Vector Search. voyage-3 launched in September 2024 as the company's general-purpose flagship and consistently ranks at or near the top of the MTEB and BEIR retrieval leaderboards.

Transformer bi-encoder with task-specific instruction-tuning and Matryoshka heads

Voyage AI voyage-3 is a hosted general-purpose embedding model with a 32,000-token context window, the longest commercial embedding context as of late 2024. The default output is a 1,024-dim vector, but the API also supports 256-, 512- and 2,048-dim heads via Matryoshka-style training, all sharing the same backbone. Training used a contrastive retrieval objective over a large curated multilingual mix including code, scientific and financial documents; the team has not disclosed exact token counts. Voyage exposes an input_type parameter ('query' or 'document') for asymmetric search and a separate output_dtype parameter for int8 / binary quantisation, reducing storage cost by up to 32x with a small quality drop. voyage-3 is bundled with a paired reranker (rerank-2) for two-stage retrieval. The model is offered exclusively via hosted API and is also natively integrated into MongoDB Atlas Vector Search since the February 2025 acquisition.
