An embedding is a sequence of numbers (a vector) that represents the semantic meaning of content such as natural language, code, or other structured data. They are widely used in Clustering, Semantic search and retrieval, Recommendation engines, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

Code Snippet

from openai import OpenAI

BASE_URL = "https://{controlPlaneUrl}/api/llm"
API_KEY = "your-truefoundry-api-key"

# Configure OpenAI client with TrueFoundry settings
client = OpenAI(
    api_key=API_KEY,
    base_url=BASE_URL,
)

response = client.embeddings.create(
    model="openai-main/text-embedding-3-small",
    input="TrueFoundry is amazing!"
)

print(response.data[0].embedding)

Notes for Cohere Models

When using Cohere models via the embeddings API, you must include an additional field called input_type in the request. This field indicates the purpose of the embedding and must be one of the following:
  • search_query
  • search_document
  • classification
  • clustering
response = client.embeddings.create(
    model="cohere-main/embed-english-v3.0",
    input="Find similar documents about AI.",
    input_type="search_query"
)

print(response.data[0].embedding)
