Embeddings
What Embeddings means, how it works, and which tools and models on this site relate to it.
Definition
Embeddings are numeric vectors that represent text, images, or other inputs so similar items sit close together in vector space.
How it works
An embedding model maps an input to a fixed-length vector. Those vectors are stored in an index and queried by nearest neighbors. They underpin search, clustering, and RAG.
