Perplexity Embed V2 Context is a family of vision-language embedding models released by Perplexity with open weights, in 9B and 600M parameter sizes. According to a creator summary, they are designed for retrieval over text, images and visual documents such as PDFs, and a paper was published alongside the release.
The models map text and visual content into a shared embedding space, so they can be used for search and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines that include scanned or image-heavy documents. The two sizes let users trade accuracy against compute cost.
The provided pages did not include a model card, license, benchmark figures, or exact release date, so those details are not stated here. Check the vendor's documentation and the Hugging Face release for specifics.
