Reviewer scorecard
“No real API for developers. It's a consumer chat product, not a developer tool. Use direct APIs instead.”
“Best embedding models for code search. voyage-code-3 outperforms OpenAI and Cohere embeddings on code retrieval.”
“Why pay Poe when you can access the same models directly? The markup for convenience doesn't make sense.”
“Specialized embedding models outperform general ones. For code or domain-specific search, Voyage is the leader.”
“Great for comparing model outputs side-by-side. Custom bots with system prompts are useful for non-technical users.”
“Domain-specific embeddings will become standard. General embedding models leave performance on the table.”
