Ask HN: What's the best local sentence transformer?

Basically what's in the title. There's been such a crazy amount of development in local LLMs if you look at LLaMa, Mistral, etc. It feels like using OpenAI's Ada to get text embeddings is probably not at all the best option at this point. What would be the best / most cost efficient way of getting text embeddings these days? Preferably open source.
