Chonkie provides a variety of embeddings handlers to handle different embedding models in a consistent manner. Embeddings handlers are used in conjunction with chunkers to embed chunks of text. Only few chunkers require embeddings, see the Chunkers Overview for more information.

​
Installation

Embeddings handlers require additional dependencies. See the Installation Guide for more information.
By default, Chonkie semantic installation includes Model2VecEmbeddings, which is the current default embeddings handler

​
Common Interface

All embeddings handlers share a consistent interface: 
# Single text embedding
emb = embeddings.embed(text)

# Batch processing
emb = embeddings.embed_batch(texts)

# Direct calling
emb = embeddings(text)  # or embeddings([text1, text2])
