# embed-multilingual-v2.0

Calls to the model embed-multilingual-v2.0 on Cohere stopped working on April 4, 2026.

Cohere retired model embed-multilingual-v2.0 on April 4, 2026. Requests specifying model embed-multilingual-v2.0 fail since that date.

## What to use instead

Move to embed-english-v3.0, embed-multilingual-v3.0, or embed-v4.0 as recommended by Cohere. Embeddings from another model are not comparable with this one, so all stored vectors must be recomputed with the new model.

Embeddings from another model are not comparable with this one's: vectors the code stores must all be computed again with the new model.
