Catalogue only

This model is catalogued for reference. It is not hosted on LLM EU yet, and no first-party endpoint serves it here. Requests to it go to the provider directly, under that provider's own terms.

Summary

Pharia-1-Embedding-4608-control is an embedding model that Aleph Alpha built on top of Pharia-1-LLM-7B-control and published under the same Open Aleph License. The model card does not state a maximum input length, so no context window is listed here. As with the Pharia language models, commercial use is handled through Aleph Alpha’s on-premise channel.

Verification status

Where a field has no source, the card shows it as unverified instead of filling it in. An empty field is information.

LLM EU Verified means documented, not legally certified. It is not an AI Act conformity assessment and LLM EU is not an EU body.

Example request

curl https://api.llmeu.com/v1/chat/completions \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"pharia-1-embedding-4608-control","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

No playground is deployed for this model: no endpoint serves it, so a request would have nowhere to go.

Benchmarks

No published evaluation. This is a gap, not a hidden result.
