Mixedbread Quality Evals

How Mixedbread performs on public retrieval and agent benchmarks, measured against the strongest competing models.

How we measure

Every result comes from a public benchmark on its standard split and evaluation script. Retrieval numbers are Wholembed V3 served through the Stores API; agent numbers come from Toast 1 or third-party agents running on Mixedbread Search, with cost and latency measured per query at list prices. Each benchmark lists its dataset, exact methodology and testing dates.

Wholembed V3, served through the Stores API, against other embedding models on public retrieval evals.

Dataset and methodology

8 specialized industry corpora (computer science, finance, pharma, HR, industrial, energy, physics) in English and French, with documents encoded as raw page images instead of parsed markdown. Tests end-to-end visual document retrieval without an OCR/layout parser in the pipeline.

We evaluate retrieval quality using publicly available eval datasets. Each model encodes the corpus and queries using its standard inference pipeline, then we compute the reported metric over the full test split. We report results as published by the eval or as measured on identical splits with default evaluation scripts.
