• Cloudflare Workers AI embeddings · free_embedding · free

  Embedding models on Workers AI, including bge-m3 and qwen3-embedding-0.6b, draw from the same 10,000 neurons/day. No separate free token cap is stated.

  Limits: sharedNeuronsPerDay: 10000 · separateTokenCap: null

  Source · asOf 2026-10-25 · Fetched twice 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in (HTTP 200, no redirect, identical HTML; the page shows 'Last updated Oct 20, 2026'). 'Our free allocation allows anyone to use a total of 10,000 Neurons per day at no charge.' The 'Embeddings model pricing' table lists @cf/baai/bge-small-en-v1.5, bge-base-en-v1.5, bge-large-en-v1.5, bge-m3, @cf/pfnet/plamo-embedding-1b and @cf/qwen/qwen3-embedding-0.6b, e.g. '@cf/baai/bge-m3 $0.012 per M input tokens 1075 neurons per M input tokens'. Those are the paid unit prices billed in neurons above the allocation, not a free token cap; the page states no separate free embedding cap.

• Gemini Embedding 2 free tier · free_embedding · free_tier_unspecified

  gemini-embedding-2 standard text, image, audio, and video input marked Free of charge.

  Limits: none stored.

  Source · asOf 2026-10-26 · Pricing page fetched twice 2026-10-24 (identical text; page footer 'Last updated 2026-10-22 UTC'): gemini-embedding-2 is 'Our first multimodal embedding model, mapping text, images, video, audio, and PDFs into a unified embedding space.' Its Standard Free Tier cells for Text, Image, Audio and Video input price read 'Free of charge'; the Batch free-tier cells read 'Not available'. No numeric free-tier quota is on the pricing page. https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits (fetched twice 2026-10-24, identical text, 'Last updated 2026-10-15 UTC') publishes no free-tier RPM, TPM or RPD and says 'View your active rate limits in AI Studio', so limits stay null. Re-checked 2026-10-26 (v0.12.131): stored quotes still match. https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing and https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits were each fetched twice (~10 s apart, plain curl, no login, following redirects): HTTP 200, no redirect, HTML differs only inside inline scripts, tag-stripped text identical; both footers now read 'Last updated 2026-10-26 UTC'. Every quote above string-matched the whitespace-normalized text except the older footer stamps, which are fetch-date stamps, not row values; values unchanged (Depot data decision to re-date only, approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo).

• Cohere trial key, embed · free_embedding · free

  Trial-key Embed rate limits. Still inside the trial key's 1,000 API calls a month.

  Limits: apiCallsPerMonth: 1000 · embedInputsPerMinute: 2000 · embedImageInputsPerMinute: 5 · monthlyCapSharedAcrossTrialKey: true

  Source · asOf 2026-10-25 · Page fetched twice 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in (HTTP 200, no redirect, identical HTML; response header 'last-modified: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 21:27:48 GMT'; the page itself shows no last-updated date). 'Trial keys (and prod keys on newer Chat model variants) are limited to 1,000 API calls a month.' Other API Endpoints table (Trial rate limit, then Production rate limit): 'Embed 2,000 inputs / min 2,000 inputs / min'; 'Embed (Images) 5 inputs / min 400 inputs / min'. The production Embed text limit is the same 2,000 inputs/min; the monthly 1,000-call cap is the trial-key constraint. Not a forever unlimited embed tier. Values unchanged from 2026-10-03.

• Jina free API key embeddings · free_embedding · free

  Embedding API with a free API key at the free-key rate limit.

  Limits: requestsPerMinute: 100 · tokensPerMinute: 100000 · ipRequestsPer60Seconds: 10000

  Source · asOf 2026-10-25 · Page fetched twice 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in (HTTP 200, no redirect, identical HTML; response header 'last-modified: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 01:48:53 GMT'; the page itself shows no last-updated date). FAQ: 'Rate limits depend on your API key type: Free: 100 RPM, 100K TPM'. Rate table, Embedding API row, w/ Free API Key column: '100 RPM & 100,000 TPM' (the w/o API Key column shows a block icon). FAQ: 'There is an additional IP-based limit of 10,000 requests per 60 seconds to prevent abuse.' FAQ: 'New users get an auto-generated API key with free tokens usable across any of our models.' and 'No, our API keys do not have an expiration date.' The page states no free token amount, so no token balance is stored (a 10 million token grant is not on the page). Paid and Premium columns are not the free tier and were not copied. Values unchanged from 2026-10-03.
