Generates vector embeddings to represent input text, using the Cohere API.

Introduced in version 4.37.0.

This processor sends text strings to your chosen large language model (LLM), which generates vector embeddings for them using the Cohere API. By default, the processor submits the entire payload of each message as a string, unless you use the text_mapping field to customize it.

To learn more about vector embeddings, see the Cohere API documentation.

Examples

  • Store embedding vectors in Qdrant

Compute embeddings for some generated data and store it within Qdrant.

input:
  generate:
    interval: 1s
    mapping: |
      root = {"text": fake("paragraph")}
pipeline:
  processors:
  - cohere_embeddings:
      model: embed-english-v3
      auth_token: "${COHERE_AUTH_TOKEN}"
      text_mapping: "root = this.text"
output:
  qdrant:
    grpc_host: localhost:6334
    collection_name: "example_collection"
    id: "root = uuid_v4()"
    vector_mapping: "root = this"

Fields

base_url

The base URL to use for API requests.

Type: string

Default: https://api.cohere.com

auth_token

Your authentication token for the Cohere API.

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Secrets.

Type: string

model

The name of the Cohere LLM you want to use.

Type: string

# Examples
