I spent months chasing MTEB scores, only to find my embedding models flopped on my own data. Generic benchmarks are misleading – real performance depends on your specific retrieval pipeline. That’s why I built Embench: a free playground to compare embeddings on your own data and taxonomy. Stop relying on leaderboards. Test on what matters.

By running SAM 3.1, Gemini Embeddings, and Eigen DB entirely in the browser, it proves that advanced AI workflows don’t need a server. Your data never leaves your device—and that’s exactly the point.
