Pricing
Rates are read live
Pricing for BAAI/bge-m3 is fetched from the live catalogue on load, so it is never served from a cache that could outlive a repricing.
Availability
Not enough data yet
We have not collected enough health probes for this model to publish an uptime or latency figure. A percentage from a handful of samples is fabricated precision, so none is shown until the sample count supports one.
