Expand description

Turns text into dense vectors.

Implementations MUST be deterministic for the same input when backend.id() stays the same — this is a load-bearing property of the kyma replay cache.

Required Methods§

Source

fn id(&self) -> &str

Stable identifier, e.g. "fastembed/bge-small-en-v1.5" or "openai/text-embedding-3-small". Mixing IDs across writes is a correctness bug (distance-space mismatch) — the engine tags every vector column with its model_id.

Source

fn dimension(&self) -> u16

Output dimension. Must be stable for the lifetime of the instance.

Source

fn embed<'life0, 'life1, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, texts: &'life1 [String], ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<Vec<Vec<f32>>, EmbedError>> + Send + 'async_trait>>
where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait, 'life1: 'async_trait,

Compute embeddings for a batch. Order of outputs matches inputs.

Dyn Compatibility§

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
