text-embedding-3-small is an embedding model. It costs $0.02 per 1M input tokens on the standard tier, with no output charge. It returns 1,536-dimension vectors and takes up to 8,192 tokens per input; its record lists text input.Not on the atlas: the atlas maps text-model prices, and embedding models are billed on input only. Compare embedding models by price, dimensions and max input instead.
