title: "Embeddings"
|
|
description: "Generate vector embeddings from text for semantic search, clustering, and similarity."
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The Embeddings API (`POST /v1/embeddings`) converts text into high-dimensional vectors. Use them to build your own semantic search, clustering pipelines, or similarity scoring outside of PrivateGPT's built-in retrieval.

## Single input
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/embeddings \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-d '{
|
|
"model": "mxbai-embed-large",
|
|
"input": "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
|
|
}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Response:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"data": [
|
|
{"index": 0, "embedding": [0.021, -0.013, ...], "object": "embedding"}
|
|
],
|
|
"model": "mxbai-embed-large",
|
|
"usage": {"input_tokens": 12, "total_tokens": 12}
|
|
}
|
|
```

## Batch input
|
|
|
|
Pass an array of strings to embed multiple texts in one request. The response preserves input order — `data[i]` corresponds to `input[i]`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/embeddings \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-d '{
|
|
"model": "mxbai-embed-large",
|
|
"input": [
|
|
"First document text",
|
|
"Second document text",
|
|
"Third document text"
|
|
]
|
|
}'
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
## Choosing a model
|
|
|
|
The `model` field must match the name of an embedding model registered in your PrivateGPT instance. Use `GET /v1/models` to list available models and their types.
|
|
|
|
For consistent similarity results, always use the same model to embed both your corpus and your queries. Mixing models produces incomparable vectors.
