 1. **Choose embedding size wisely**: Smaller embeddings (e.g., 512–1024) reduce latency and storage costs, ideal for mobile or real-time apps.
 2. **Batch embedding generation**: Pre-process documents in bulk to reduce API calls and improve throughput.
 3. **Use domain-specific models**: Models like `voyage-finance-2` or `voyage-law-2` yield better semantic relevance in specialized contexts.
