summary: "Embedding models underpin modern AI systems across various modalities. Research on embedding models is converging toward common principles driven by contrastive learning and Transformer architectures. A framework of coverage, comparability, and compositionality is proposed to reason across this convergence. Joint embedding is advocated as the terminus for unification."
