The Embedding Microservice is designed to efficiently convert textual strings into vectorized embeddings, facilitating seamless integration into various machine learning and data processing workflows. This service utilizes advanced algorithms to generate high-quality embeddings that capture the semantic essence of the input text, making it ideal for applications in natural language processing, information retrieval, and similar fields.
Key Features:
High Performance: Optimized for quick and reliable conversion of textual data into vector embeddings.
Scalability: Built to handle high volumes of requests simultaneously, ensuring robust performance even under heavy loads.
Ease of Integration: Provides a simple and intuitive API, allowing for straightforward integration into existing systems and workflows.
Customizable: Supports configuration and customization to meet specific use case requirements, including different embedding models and preprocessing techniques.
Users are albe to configure and build embedding-related services according to their actual needs.
Currently, we provide two ways to implement the embedding service:
-
Build the embedding model locally from the server, which is faster, but takes up memory on the local server.
-
Build it based on the TEI endpoint, which provides more flexibility, but may bring some network latency.
For both of the implementations, you need to install requirements first.
# run with langchain
pip install -r langchain/requirements.txt
# run with llama_index
pip install -r llama_index/requirements.txt
You can select one of following ways to start the embedding service:
First, you need to start a TEI service.
your_port=8090
model="BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5"
revision="refs/pr/5"
docker run -p $your_port:80 -v ./data:/data --name tei_server -e http_proxy=$http_proxy -e https_proxy=$https_proxy --pull always ghcr.io/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference:cpu-1.2 --model-id $model --revision $revision
Then you need to test your TEI service using the following commands:
curl localhost:$your_port/embed \
-X POST \
-d '{"inputs":"What is Deep Learning?"}' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
Start the embedding service with the TEI_EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT.
# run with langchain
cd langchain
# run with llama_index
cd llama_index
export TEI_EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:$yourport"
export TEI_EMBEDDING_MODEL_NAME="BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5"
export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2=true
export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY=${your_langchain_api_key}
export LANGCHAIN_PROJECT="opea/gen-ai-comps:embeddings"
python embedding_tei.py
# run with langchain
cd langchain
# run with llama_index
cd llama_index
python local_embedding.py
First, you need to start a TEI service.
your_port=8090
model="BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5"

curl localhost:$your_port/embed \

Export the TEI_EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT
for later usage:
export TEI_EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:$yourport"
export TEI_EMBEDDING_MODEL_NAME="BAAI/bge-large-en-v1.5"
