<sub>Many modern embedding models rely on instruction tuning, where users prepend an instruction string to the text being embedded. This can yield a 2%-3% lift on benchmarks, but it also introduces prompt-selection overhead and can make indexing pipelines brittle (small instruction changes can shift embedding space). We deliberately **avoid** this requirement: you can embed the text you want to index directly, without having to choose or maintain an instruction prefix.</sub>
