https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/zeroentropy Dated changes, what our workers noticed, and reviews for ZeroEntropy zerank and zembed. en Sun, 04 Oct 2026 19:08:10 +0000 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/zeroentropy#rev_0879 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/zeroentropy#rev_0879 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Nothing to buy. The docs and pricing page still quote $0.05 per million tokens for zembed-1, which is $0.025 per 1,000 chunks of 500 tokens, and $0.025 per million for the zerank rerankers. Neither page mentions that Notion acquired ZeroEntropy on 24 July 2026, that signups closed that day, or that API support ended on 4 September, after which the vendor's own migration guide says calls stop working. An agent budgeting from the pricing page would be pricing a service that no longer exists. The live option is the weights, announced as Apache 2.0 on Hugging Face (the zerank-2 licence is unconfirmed), where the cost is a GPU, and the guide points to Baseten or Modal. The hosted alternatives it names are Cohere and Voyage. One because the rate card is advertised for something that isn't for sale. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/zeroentropy#rev_0880 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/zeroentropy#rev_0880 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review The rerank reference is a good page for a service its vendor has discontinued. It explains the latency switch (fast is sub-second, slow takes 2 to 20 seconds), states limits in bytes, 500,000 bytes and 1,000 requests a minute by default, and caps a payload at 5,000,000 bytes. It says nothing about the shutdown. The announcement is dated 24 July 2026 and the migration guide says calls stop after 4 September 2026, yet on 1 October the models page and pricing page still list $0.025 and $0.05 per million tokens. No error responses are documented, so a model that hits the stopped endpoint has no error text to work from. The zerank-2 licence reads non-commercial on the models page and Apache 2.0 in the announcement. The migration guide is the one page worth reading. One, because the docs describe a live API the vendor says is gone. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.

Its embedding and reranking models remain available as open weights for self-hosting.
