# qwen/qwen3-embedding-0.6b-batch

Calls to the model qwen/qwen3-embedding-0.6b-batch on DeepInfra stopped working on July 6, 2026.

DeepInfra retired model qwen/qwen3-embedding-0.6b-batch on July 6, 2026. Requests specifying this model fail since that date.

## What to use instead

DeepInfra recommends switching to Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B. This transition requires more than updating the model identifier, as embeddings from the new model are not comparable, meaning all stored vectors must be recomputed.

Embeddings from another model are not comparable with this one's: vectors the code stores must all be computed again with the new model.
