Curious how this will work in practice as vectors are specific to a given embedding model, and could be domain-specific for better results. Could it lead to industry standard embedding models, with regular (costly) upgrades?

I'm wondering the same thing. Standardization would be interesting but I wouldn't bet on it. Maintaining different vector columns for different models might work well?
