Multilingual embedding foundation model request

[nickv]

Are there any plans to offer a foundation model with multilingual support? Llama embed nemotron 8b or qwen3-embedding 8b would help out a lot for users that do not only process data in the English language.

Hi @nickv ,

There are already some foundation models that supports multiple languages:

Sorry I wasn't clear enough in my question: I mean embedding models specifically.
