Somewhat tangimential, are there any open source attempts to compete with OpenAI's embeddings?

I know Word2Vec is a thing but I believe that is on a word by word basis, and doesn't capture the semantic meaning of whole sentences and paragraphs.

They charge so little for embeddings I secretly hope they do open source it. Because if for some reason it is stopped, any search functionality or the like that relies upon the API would cease to function

Models under sentence-transformers are commonly used by people.

You can check this leaderboard, where OpenAI's embeddings are outperformed by open source ones: https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard
