jina-embeddings-v2-small-en converts English text into embeddings by processing the text through a transformer-based neural network trained to capture semantic relationships. Internally, the model first tokenizes the input text into smaller units, such as subwords. These tokens are then transformed into numerical representations and passed through multiple attention layers that allow the model to understand how words relate to each other across the entire input.
Each attention layer refines the representation by combining local word meaning with broader context. After the text passes through all layers, the model produces token-level vectors that summarize different parts of the input. These token vectors are then combined, usually through pooling, into a single fixed-length embedding that represents the overall meaning of the text. This final vector is what developers use for similarity search, clustering, or retrieval tasks.
From a developer’s perspective, this process is simple to use. You provide a string of English text and receive a numeric vector in return. These vectors are designed to work well with similarity metrics such as cosine similarity, which are supported natively by vector databases like Milvus and Zilliz Cloud. The key requirement is consistency: both documents and queries must be embedded using the same model and preprocessing steps. When used correctly, this conversion process enables reliable semantic comparison at scale.
