Introducing Weaviate Embeddings

Weaviate Embeddings, a new service in Weaviate Cloud, aims to simplify the creation of vector embeddings for AI developers by offering model flexibility and eliminating common challenges like rate limits and self-hosting complexities. In the face of a rapidly evolving landscape of AI models, Weaviate Embeddings allows developers to run embedding models directly within the cloud service, providing access to open-source models like Snowflake’s Arctic-Embed, with plans to integrate commercial multilingual and multimodal models. The service promises high throughput and no artificial constraints on processing, supporting large-scale data operations with a pay-as-you-go pricing model based on tokens consumed. Designed for enterprise readiness, Weaviate Embeddings also emphasizes security and offers developers the flexibility to optimize embedding dimensions to meet specific use cases, setting the stage for future advancements in hosted models and promising enhancements in retrieval quality across various domains.
