How much does Embed V1 4B cost?

Billing is usage-based at $0.03 per million input tokens, with no separate output charge because it returns embeddings. You pay only for what you use.

How do I access Embed V1 4B from inside Iran?

Create a Hormouz account and generate an API key. Hormouz provides a stable path to the model from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.

Is Embed V1 4B compatible with OpenAI code?

Yes. Hormouz exposes an OpenAI-compatible API, including the embeddings endpoint. Point your base URL at Hormouz and use a Hormouz key, and your existing embedding code works without changes.

What context window and capabilities does Embed V1 4B have?

Embed V1 4B works with a context window of about 32K tokens. That makes it suitable for semantic search, retrieval-augmented generation and document ranking.

Type:: embedding

Embeddings

Embed V1 4B is a text-embedding model from Perplexity, aimed at large-scale retrieval over real-world web data. At 4B parameters it prioritizes retrieval quality for dense text search, which makes it a solid backbone for semantic search, RAG pipelines and re-ranking. It accepts up to a 32K-token input window and returns embedding vectors rather than chat text.

Embed V1 4B is best suited to semantic search, retrieval-augmented generation and document ranking. The model works with a context window of about 32K tokens, so it comfortably handles long inputs. It is served through Hormouz behind an OpenAI-compatible API. Point your base URL at Hormouz and use a Hormouz key, and your existing embedding-endpoint code keeps working.

Pricing is usage-based at $0.03 per million input tokens; because it returns embeddings there is no separate output-token charge. Hormouz provides stable access to the model from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.
