Adopt with guardrails

Why
GA on three major clouds, 128k context and native interleaved image+text embeddings are a genuine fit for multimodal commerce search and remain the only mainstream production multimodal option; main risks are image-token cost, sub-leader text accuracy, and vendor opacity on limits — all manageable with metering and own-data eval.
Next
Pilot on a single mixed-modality corpus (PDF + image product catalog), benchmark 1024-dim Matryoshka vs full 1536-dim for recall/cost tradeoff, validate multimodal recall on own data, and cap image-token spend with a budget alarm.
