Sentence Transformers: all-MiniLM-L6-v2
sentence-transformers/all-minilm-l6-v2
Model weightsThe all-MiniLM-L6-v2 embedding model maps sentences and short paragraphs into a 384-dimensional dense vector space, enabling high-quality semantic representations that are ideal for downstream tasks such as information retrieval, clustering, similarity scoring, and text ranking.
Providers
This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request without routing.

Performance
Latency is how long it takes to return the full response (lower is better).
P50, best provider
Uptime
Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and provider routing options.
Apps
Public apps that send the most traffic to this model. Good signal for what real production workloads look like — and a hint at which use cases this model is best suited for.
Activity
Token volume and request traffic to this model over time.
API
Drop-in code to call this model. OpenRouter's API is OpenAI-compatible — most SDKs work by just swapping the base URL. The only thing that changes between models is the model slug below.
