AI data management startup Voyage AI has raised $20 million in funding in a Series A round led by CRV.
Other participants in the funding round include Snowflake, Databricks, Wing VC, Conviction, Pear VC, Tectonic Capital, Mayfield Fund, and Fusion Fund.
Voyage AI specializes in creating embeddings, specialized files that represent data in a form that neural networks can understand, improving retrieval quality and reducing storage costs.
The company also debuted two new AI models, voyage-3 and voyage-3-lite, which provide better retrieval quality and cost efficiency compared to OpenAI's offering.
