Static embeddings can be fast on CPU
Markewich reports that static embeddings take about 0.05 ms per text line on CPU, need no transformer forward pass, are WASM-friendly, and run about 100 times faster than a small dense model.

Static embedding models can seem like a cheat code at first glance. Embedding a line of text is just a table lookup plus an average calculation. This translates to about 0.05 ms per text line on CPU, no transformer forward pass, it's WASM-friendly, and ~100× faster than even a small dense model.Exploring Static Embedding Retrieval
