Agentic systems and enterprise search depend on strong data retrieval that works efficiently and accurately. Database provider MongoDB thinks its newest embeddings models help solve falling retrieval quality as more AI systems go into production.As agentic and RAG systems move into production, retrieval quality is emerging as a quiet failure point — one that can undermine accuracy, cost, and user trust even when models themselves perform well.The company launched four new versions of its embeddings and reranking models. Voyage 4 will be available in four modes: voyage-4 embedding, voyage-4-large, voyage-4-lite, and voyage-4-nano. MongoDB said the voyage-4 embedding serves as its general-purpose model; MongoDB considers Voyage-4-large its flagship model. Voyage-4-lite focuses on tasks [...]
