Embedding Models API
EmbeddingModel
Bases: Module
An embedding model API wrapper.
Embedding models are a type of machine learning model used to convert high-dimensional data, such as text into lower-dimensional vector representations while preserving the semantic meaning and relationships within the data. These vector representations, known as embeddings, allow for more efficient and effective processing in various tasks.
Many providers are available like Gemini, Azure, Vertex AI or Ollama;
the provider prefixes accepted in model (the part before the /) are
returned by EmbeddingModel.supported_providers().
For the complete list of models, please refer to the providers documentation.
Using Gemini models
import synalinks
import os
os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"
embedding_model = synalinks.EmbeddingModel(
model="gemini/text-embedding-004",
)
Using Azure models
import synalinks
import os
os.environ["AZURE_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"
os.environ["AZURE_API_BASE"] = "your-api-base"
os.environ["AZURE_API_VERSION"] = "your-api-version"
embedding_model = synalinks.EmbeddingModel(
model="azure/<your_deployment_name>",
)
Using VertexAI models
import synalinks
import os
embedding_model = synalinks.EmbeddingModel(
model="vertex_ai/text-embedding-004",
vertex_project = "hardy-device-38811", # Your Project ID
vertex_location = "us-central1", # Project location
)
Using Ollama models
Note: Obviously, use an .env file and .gitignore to avoid
putting your API keys in the code or a config file that can lead to
leackage when pushing it into repositories.

supported_models(provider, api_base=None)
async
classmethod
Returns the embedding models a provider offers.
Ollama is asked for the models it serves, keeping its embedding models.
The other providers are listed from litellm's model table; for OpenAI
with OPENAI_API_KEY set, narrowed to the models the account can use,
from OpenAI's live list.

|---|---|---|---|
provider
|
str
|
A provider prefix from |
required |
api_base
|
str

Optional. The server to ask, for a provider listed
from its server or from OpenAI's live list (defaults to its base
URL variable, then to its default endpoint, see

supported_providers()
classmethod
Returns the supported embedding provider prefixes.
These are the values accepted before the / in model, e.g.
"gemini" in "gemini/text-embedding-004". Embedding requests are
forwarded to litellm as-is, so any litellm embedding provider works;
the names listed here are the ones documented and verified with
synalinks.
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
list
|
The sorted list of supported provider prefixes. |
