What it is

Jina AI provides embeddings, rerankers, readers, and small language models for businesses and developers building search applications. Reader turns a supplied URL into clean text for language-model, retrieval-augmented generation, and agent systems; it can also search the web and return five results with URLs and content. The v5 omni embedding models accept text, images, audio, video, and PDFs in a shared vector space. Reranker v3 and v3.5 compare candidate documents with listwise scoring in one forward pass. Integrations include MongoDB, Qdrant, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, LlamaIndex, Haystack, LangChain, and Dify. Model deployment is listed for AWS SageMaker, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Jina AI is available by API, on the web, and self-hosted. Free API keys allow 100 RPM and 100,000 TPM for Embeddings and Reranker; paid keys allow 500 RPM and 2,000,000 TPM. The free Toy Experiment plan includes 10 Million tokens for non-commercial use only under CC-BY-NC. One-time bundles cost $50 as a one-time purchase for Prototype Development and $500, paid once for Production Deployment.
