Embeddings

Dense vector representations of text/data — the foundation for both RAG (AI/RAG) and ML similarity/recommendation use cases.

Why we need this / what value this brings

Turns unstructured data (text) into a form that similarity/ML operations can work with numerically.

When to use this

Any time you need to compare, cluster, or search over unstructured content — the foundation for both AI/RAG and ML-based recommendation.

How to use or implement this

Pick an embedding model matched to your content type and language, and keep embedding-model choice consistent between indexing and querying.
