The OpenAI Embeddings Custom node is a component designed to generate embeddings for given text using the OpenAI API. It’s an extension of the standard OpenAI Embeddings functionality, offering additional customization options.
The node initializes an OpenAIEmbeddings instance with the provided parameters. It retrieves the OpenAI API key from the user’s credentials and applies any additional parameters specified in the node configuration. The resulting embeddings model can be used in downstream tasks that require text embeddings.
This custom node allows for more fine-grained control over the embedding process compared to the standard OpenAI Embeddings node.
Users should be mindful of their API usage, as generating embeddings can consume a significant number of tokens.
The ‘dimensions’ parameter allows users to specify the size of the embedding vectors, which can be useful for compatibility with specific models or applications.
