Weaviate Embeddings

Weaviate Cloud only

Configure a Weaviate vector index to use a Weaviate Embeddings model, and Weaviate will generate embeddings for various operations using the specified model and your Weaviate API key. This feature is called the vectorizer.

At import time, Weaviate generates text object embeddings and saves them into the index. For vector and hybrid search operations, Weaviate converts text queries into embeddings.

Requirements

To use Weaviate Embeddings, you need:

• A Weaviate Cloud instance running at least Weaviate version >=1.27.10, >=1.28.3 or >=1.29.0.
• A Weaviate client library that supports Weaviate Embeddings:
  • Python client version 4.9.5 or higher
  • JavaScript/TypeScript client version 3.2.5 or higher
  • Go/Java clients are not yet officially supported; you must pass the X-Weaviate-Api-Key and X-Weaviate-Cluster-Url headers manually upon instantiation as shown below.

Weaviate configuration

The Weaviate Embeddings vectorizer is only available for use by Weaviate Cloud instances. At this time, Weaviate Embeddings is not available for self-hosted users.

API credentials

Weaviate Embeddings is integrated with Weaviate Cloud. Your Weaviate Cloud credentials will be used to authorize your Weaviate Cloud instance's access for Weaviate Embeddings.

You can specify one of the available models for Weaviate to use. The default model is used if no model is specified.

Vectorization behavior

Weaviate follows the collection configuration and a set of predetermined rules to vectorize objects.

Unless specified otherwise in the collection definition, the default behavior is to:

• Only vectorize properties that use the text or text[] data type (unless skipped)
• Sort properties in alphabetical (a-z) order before concatenating values
• If vectorizePropertyName is true (false by default) prepend the property name to each property value
• Join the (prepended) property values with spaces
• Prepend the class name (unless vectorizeClassName is false)
• Convert the produced string to lowercase

Vectorizer parameters

• model (optional): The name of the model to use for embedding generation.
• dimensions (optional): The number of dimensions to use for the generated embeddings.
• base_url (optional): The base URL for the Weaviate Embeddings service. (Not required in most cases.)

The following examples show how to configure Weaviate Embeddings-specific options.

Re-use existing vectors

If you already have a compatible model vector available, you can provide it directly to Weaviate. This can be useful if you have already generated embeddings using the same model and want to use them in Weaviate, such as when migrating data from another system.

Searches

Once the vectorizer is configured, Weaviate will perform vector and hybrid search operations using the specified WED model.

Vector (near text) search

When you perform a vector search, Weaviate converts the text query into an embedding using the specified model and returns the most similar objects from the database.

The query below returns the n most similar objects from the database, set by limit.

Hybrid search

What is a hybrid search?

A hybrid search performs a vector search and a keyword (BM25) search, before combining the results to return the best matching objects from the database.

When you perform a hybrid search, Weaviate converts the text query into an embedding using the specified model and returns the best scoring objects from the database.

The query below returns the n best scoring objects from the database, set by limit.

Snowflake/snowflake-arctic-embed-m-v1.5

• A 109M parameter, 768-dimensional model for enterprise retrieval tasks in English.
• Trained with Matryoshka Representation Learning to allow vector truncation with minimal loss.
• Quantization-friendly: Using scalar quantization and 256 dimensions provides 99% of unquantized, full-precision performance.

Input truncation

Currently, input exceeding the model's context windows is truncated from the right (i.e. the end of the input).

Code examples

Once the integrations are configured at the collection, the data management and search operations in Weaviate work identically to any other collection. See the following model-agnostic examples:

• The How-to: Manage collections and How-to: Manage objects guides show how to perform data operations (i.e. create, read, update, delete collections and objects within them).
• The How-to: Query & Search guides show how to perform search operations (i.e. vector, keyword, hybrid) as well as retrieval augmented generation.
