Subject: [PATCH] models: three member-facing embedding models (nomic
 un-scoped, green-embeddings added)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- tinfoil/nomic-embed-text is now member-facing ($0.016/1M per Tinfoil's
  catalog, TEE-protected, 768-dim, 8K ctx) — the model the co-op's own docs
  search runs on inside the TEE.
- greenpt/green-embeddings added ($0.20/1M, 2560-dim measured, 32K ctx) — the
  only genuinely distinct other embedding model in GreenPT's catalog.
- Embedding table now lists all three with pricing; quick-guide bullet updated.

 The response is standard OpenAI shape: `data[0].embedding` holds the vector,
 and `usage.prompt_tokens` is what meters against your allowance at the rate
 above. Embeddings bill input tokens only — there is no output charge.
 
-For completeness: Tinfoil also serves a private embedding model
-(`nomic-embed-text`), but it is **operator-only** — the co-op runs its own docs
-search on it inside the TEE, and member keys cannot call it.
-`greenpt/qwen3-embedding-8b` above is the member-facing embedding model.
+Vectors from different models are not interchangeable — pick one per search
+index and stay with it (re-index if you switch). All three are callable with a
+member key; for reference, the co-op's own documentation search runs on
+`tinfoil/nomic-embed-text` inside the TEE.
