Embeddings Module - PraisonAI

Generate vector embeddings for semantic search, similarity matching, and RAG applications.

Quick Start

Generate Single Embedding

import { embed } from 'praisonai';

const result = embed("Hello, world!");

console.log(result.embedding);    // number[]
console.log(result.dimensions);   // 1536
console.log(result.model);        // 'text-embedding-3-small'

Generate Batch Embeddings

import { embeddings } from 'praisonai';

const result = embeddings([
  "First document",
  "Second document",
  "Third document"
]);

console.log(result.embeddings.length);  // 3

Embedding Functions

Sync Functions

import { embed, embedding, embeddings } from 'praisonai';

// Single text
const single = embed("Hello world");

// Alias for embed
const single2 = embedding("Hello world");

// Multiple texts
const batch = embeddings(["Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3"]);

Async Functions

import { aembed, aembedding, aembeddings } from 'praisonai';

// Single text (async)
const single = await aembed("Hello world");

// Alias for aembed
const single2 = await aembedding("Hello world");

// Multiple texts (async)
const batch = await aembeddings(["Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3"]);

Configuration

import { setEmbeddingConfig, getDimensions } from 'praisonai';

// Set global config
setEmbeddingConfig({
  model: 'text-embedding-3-large',
  dimensions: 3072,
  apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
});

// Get dimensions for a model
const dims = getDimensions('text-embedding-3-small');  // 1536

Configuration Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`model`	`string`	`'text-embedding-3-small'`	Embedding model
`dimensions`	`number`	`1536`	Vector dimensions
`apiKey`	`string`	`undefined`	API key (uses env var if not set)
`baseUrl`	`string`	`undefined`	Custom API base URL

Supported Models

Model	Dimensions	Provider
`text-embedding-3-small`	1536	OpenAI
`text-embedding-3-large`	3072	OpenAI
`text-embedding-ada-002`	1536	OpenAI
`embed-english-v3.0`	1024	Cohere
`embed-multilingual-v3.0`	1024	Cohere

Similarity Functions

import { cosineSimilarity, euclideanDistance, normalize } from 'praisonai';

const vec1 = [0.1, 0.2, 0.3];
const vec2 = [0.2, 0.3, 0.4];

// Cosine similarity (0-1, higher = more similar)
const similarity = cosineSimilarity(vec1, vec2);
console.log(similarity);  // ~0.99

// Euclidean distance (lower = more similar)
const distance = euclideanDistance(vec1, vec2);
console.log(distance);  // ~0.17

// Normalize vector to unit length
const normalized = normalize(vec1);

Result Types

EmbeddingResult

interface EmbeddingResult {
  embedding: number[];      // Vector array
  model: string;            // Model used
  dimensions: number;       // Vector dimensions
  usage?: {
    promptTokens: number;
    totalTokens: number;
  };
}

BatchEmbeddingResult

interface BatchEmbeddingResult {
  embeddings: number[][];   // Array of vectors
  model: string;            // Model used
  dimensions: number;       // Vector dimensions
  usage?: {
    promptTokens: number;
    totalTokens: number;
  };
}

Common Patterns

Semantic Search
Document Clustering
RAG Context

import { embed, embeddings, cosineSimilarity } from 'praisonai';

// Index documents
const docs = ["AI is amazing", "Machine learning rocks", "TypeScript is typed"];
const docVectors = embeddings(docs);

// Search
const query = embed("artificial intelligence");
const scores = docVectors.embeddings.map((vec, i) => ({
  doc: docs[i],
  score: cosineSimilarity(query.embedding, vec)
}));

// Sort by similarity
scores.sort((a, b) => b.score - a.score);
console.log(scores[0]);  // Most similar document

import { embeddings, cosineSimilarity } from 'praisonai';

const docs = ["Doc 1", "Doc 2", "Doc 3"];
const vectors = embeddings(docs);

// Build similarity matrix
const matrix = vectors.embeddings.map((v1, i) =>
  vectors.embeddings.map((v2, j) =>
    cosineSimilarity(v1, v2)
  )
);

import { embed, cosineSimilarity } from 'praisonai';

async function findRelevantContext(query: string, chunks: string[]) {
  const queryVec = await aembed(query);
  const chunkVecs = await aembeddings(chunks);
  
  return chunks
    .map((chunk, i) => ({
      chunk,
      score: cosineSimilarity(queryVec.embedding, chunkVecs.embeddings[i])
    }))
    .sort((a, b) => b.score - a.score)
    .slice(0, 3);  // Top 3 chunks
}

Best Practices

Use batch embeddings for multiple texts

Call embeddings() once with an array instead of calling embed() multiple times.

Cache embeddings for static content

Store embeddings in a database to avoid regenerating them for unchanged content.

Choose the right model

Use text-embedding-3-small for speed, text-embedding-3-large for accuracy.
