Reviewer scorecard
“No developer API or platform to build on. It's a consumer entertainment product with no B2B play.”
“Best embedding models for code search. voyage-code-3 outperforms OpenAI and Cohere embeddings on code retrieval.”
“Impressive engagement but no path to serious monetization. The safety concerns with younger users are a liability.”
“Specialized embedding models outperform general ones. For code or domain-specific search, Voyage is the leader.”
“Character.ai has the best understanding of long-context character consistency. That tech could be transformative if applied elsewhere.”
“Domain-specific embeddings will become standard. General embedding models leave performance on the table.”
