OpenAI API embeddings endpoint {#ovmsdocsrestapiembeddings}

API Reference

OpenVINO Model Server includes now the embeddings endpoint using OpenAI API. Please see the OpenAI API Reference for more information on the API. The endpoint is exposed via a path:

http://server_name:port/v3/embeddings

Example request

curl http://localhost/v3/embeddings \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gte-large",
    "input": ["This is a test"],
    "encoding_format": "float"
  }'

Example response

{
  "object": "list",
  "data": [
    {
      "object": "embedding",
      "embedding": [
        -0.03440694510936737,

}

Request

Generic

Param	OpenVINO Model Server	OpenAI /embeddings API	Type	Description
model	✅	✅	string (required)	Name of the model to use. Name assigned to a MediaPipe graph configured to schedule generation using desired embedding model.
input	✅	✅	string/list of strings (required)	Input text to embed, encoded as a string or a list of strings
encoding_format	✅	✅	float or base64 (default: float)	The format to return the embeddings in

Unsupported params from OpenAI service:

• user
• dimensions

Response

Param	OpenVINO Model Server	OpenAI /embeddings API	Type	Description
data	✅	✅	array	A list of responses for each string
data.embedding	✅	✅	array of float or base64 string	Vector of embeddings for a string.
data.index	✅	✅	integer	Response index
model	✅	✅	string	Model name
usage	✅	✅	dictionary	Info about assessed tokens

Error handling

Endpoint can raise an error related to incorrect request in the following conditions:

• Incorrect format of any of the fields based on the schema
• Any tokenized input text exceeds the maximum length of the model context. Make sure input documents are chunked to fit the model
• The number of input documents exceeds allowed configured value - default 500
