Embedding
Embedding sets the one model that turns your content into vectors, so search can find things by meaning. There is one embedding setup for the whole brain.
- Model: the embedding model name.
- Primary route: the provider, base URL and API key. Click Test dimensions to check the model returns 768 numbers per vector.
- Backup route (same model): turn on Enable failover to reach the same model another way.
- Performance & throughput: hardware profile, concurrency and batch size for indexing.
- Click Save embedding config.
Do not change the model without a reason. All vectors must come from the same model to be comparable. After a change, click Rebuild index to re-embed everything. Search is weaker until that finishes.

Technical
- Every vector is stored at 768 dimensions. A model with another size cannot be used without a database change.
- The backup must be the same model, or its vectors would not match the index.
- Embeddings are cached by model and text, so unchanged text is never embedded twice. A new model invalidates the whole cache.
- With no setup, a local keyless model is used.
