Qwen 3 Embedding 8b
Turns text into vectors for multilingual search and private-document retrieval. It does not write chat answers; use the embedding API.
Exact local Ollama manifest and configuration checked on 2026-10-20. Memory figures are conservative planning estimates; no DeviceTerra inference or speed test is claimed. Embeddings return vectors, not chat answers.

Will it run?
MamiLens uses 16 GB as a conservative planning floor for this profile and its listed quantization. This is not measured speed. Processor, backend support, context length, memory bandwidth and other applications still affect the result.

Evidence and limits
Published context: 40K artifact maximum; practical context depends on memory. The source establishes specifications; it does not guarantee that maximum context fits at the MamiLens minimum RAM floor.
