//! # Embedding Module
//!
//! This module provides types and traits for working with text embeddings.
//!
//! ## What are Embeddings?
//!
//! Embeddings are dense vector representations of text that capture semantic meaning.
//! They transform human-readable text into numerical vectors that machine learning
//! models can process effectively. Similar texts produce similar embedding vectors,
//! making them useful for:
//!
//! - **Semantic search**: Finding relevant documents based on meaning rather than exact keywords
//! - **Text similarity**: Measuring how similar two pieces of text are
//! - **Classification**: Categorizing text based on content
//! - **Clustering**: Grouping similar texts together
//! - **Recommendation systems**: Finding related content
//!
//! ## Embedding Models
//!
//! An embedding model is a neural network that has been trained to convert text into
//! meaningful vector representations. Different models have different characteristics:
//!
//! - **Dimension**: The length of the embedding vector (e.g., 768, 1536)
//! - **Domain**: Some models are optimized for specific types of content
//! - **Performance**: Trade-offs between speed, accuracy, and resource usage
//!
//! Popular embedding models include:
//! - OpenAI's `text-embedding-ada-002` (1536 dimensions)
//! - Sentence Transformers like `all-MiniLM-L6-v2` (384 dimensions)
//! - Cohere's embedding models
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! This module provides the [`EmbeddingModel`] trait that abstracts over different
//! embedding implementations, allowing you to switch between providers while
//! maintaining the same interface.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use aither::EmbeddingModel;
//!
//! async fn example<T: EmbeddingModel>(model: &T) -> aither::Result<()> {
//! // Get the embedding dimension
//! let dim = model.dim();
//! println!("Model produces {}-dimensional embeddings", dim);
//!
//! // Convert text to embedding
//! let embedding = model.embed("Hello, world!").await?;
//! assert_eq!(embedding.len(), dim);
//!
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! ```

use Future;
/// A type alias for an embedding vector of 32-bit floats.
///
/// Embeddings are dense vector representations where each dimension captures
/// different semantic features of the input text. The vector length is determined
/// by the embedding model's architecture.
pub type Embedding = ;
/// Converts text to vector representations.
///
/// This trait provides a unified interface for different embedding model implementations,
/// allowing you to switch between providers (`OpenAI`, `Cohere`, `Hugging Face`, etc.) while
/// maintaining the same API.
///
/// See the [module documentation](crate::embedding) for more details on embeddings and their use cases.
///
/// # Implementation Requirements
///
/// - The [`embed`](EmbeddingModel::embed) method must return vectors with length equal to [`dim`](EmbeddingModel::dim)
/// - Embeddings should be normalized if the underlying model requires it
/// - The implementation should handle errors gracefully (network issues, API limits, etc.)
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```rust
/// use aither::EmbeddingModel;
///
/// struct MyEmbedding {
/// api_key: String,
/// }
///
/// impl EmbeddingModel for MyEmbedding {
/// fn dim(&self) -> usize {
/// 1536 // OpenAI text-embedding-ada-002 dimension
/// }
///
/// async fn embed(&self, text: &str) -> aither::Result<Vec<f32>> {
/// // In a real implementation, this would call the embedding API
/// Ok(vec![0.0; self.dim()])
/// }
/// }
///
/// # tokio_test::block_on(async {
/// let model = MyEmbedding { api_key: "sk-...".to_string() };
/// let embedding = model.embed("The quick brown fox").await.unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(embedding.len(), 1536);
/// # });
/// ```
///
/// # Performance Considerations
///
/// - Batch multiple texts when possible to reduce API calls
/// - Consider caching embeddings for frequently used texts
/// - Be aware of rate limits when using cloud-based embedding services
