Stopped workingSubscribe to DeepInfraShare
DeepInfra retired model qwen/qwen3-embedding-8b-batch on July 6, 2026. Calls targeting this model fail since that date. Applications sending requests to model qwen/qwen3-embedding-8b-batch can no longer use it.
What to use instead of qwen/qwen3-embedding-8b-batch
Move to Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-8B as recommended by DeepInfra. Switching requires more than updating an identifier, as embeddings from another model are not comparable and 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.
