Embedding Models

Quick Start

from litellm import embedding
import os
os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = ""
response = embedding(model='text-embedding-ada-002', input=["good morning from litellm"])

Input Params for litellm.embedding()

Required Fields

• model: string - ID of the model to use. model='text-embedding-ada-002'

• input: array - Input text to embed, encoded as a string or array of tokens. To embed multiple inputs in a single request, pass an array of strings or array of token arrays. The input must not exceed the max input tokens for the model (8192 tokens for text-embedding-ada-002), cannot be an empty string, and any array must be 2048 dimensions or less.

input=["good morning from litellm"]

Optional LiteLLM Fields

• user: string (optional) A unique identifier representing your end-user,

• timeout: integer - The maximum time, in seconds, to wait for the API to respond. Defaults to 600 seconds (10 minutes).

• api_base: string (optional) - The api endpoint you want to call the model with

• api_version: string (optional) - (Azure-specific) the api version for the call

• api_key: string (optional) - The API key to authenticate and authorize requests. If not provided, the default API key is used.

• api_type: string (optional) - The type of API to use.

OpenAI Embedding Models

Usage

from litellm import embedding
import os
os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = ""
response = embedding('text-embedding-ada-002', input=["good morning from litellm"])

Model Name	Function Call	Required OS Variables
text-embedding-ada-002	embedding('text-embedding-ada-002', input)	os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY']

Azure OpenAI Embedding Models

API keys

This can be set as env variables or passed as params to litellm.embedding()

import os
os.environ['AZURE_API_KEY'] = 
os.environ['AZURE_API_BASE'] = 
os.environ['AZURE_API_VERSION'] = 

Usage

from litellm import embedding
response = embedding(
    model="azure/<your deployment name>",
    input=["good morning from litellm"],
    api_key=api_key,
    api_base=api_base,
    api_version=api_version,
)
print(response)

Model Name	Function Call
text-embedding-ada-002	embedding(model="azure/<your deployment name>", input=input)

h/t to Mikko for this integration

OpenAI Compatible Embedding Models

Use this for calling /embedding endpoints on OpenAI Compatible Servers, example https://github.com/xorbitsai/inference

Note add openai/ prefix to model so litellm knows to route to OpenAI

Usage

from litellm import embedding
response = embedding(
  model = "openai/<your-llm-name>",     # add `openai/` prefix to model so litellm knows to route to OpenAI
  api_base="http://0.0.0.0:8000/"       # set API Base of your Custom OpenAI Endpoint
  input=["good morning from litellm"]
)
