About this video
Dive into the world of embeddings and their crucial role in modern AI applications, particularly in enhancing search capabilities and information retrieval. This video, part of our comprehensive Ollama course, explains:
- What embeddings are and how they differ from traditional text-matching searches
- The importance of embeddings in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
- How to create and use embeddings with Ollama's API
- A practical comparison of different embedding models, including:
- nomic-embed-text
- mxbai-embed-large
- all-minilm
- snowflake-arctic-embed
- bge-m3
- bge-large
- llama3.1
We'll demonstrate real-world applications, discuss performance considerations, and explore the nuances of working with embeddings. Whether you're new to AI or looking to deepen your understanding, this video provides valuable insights into this powerful technology.
Join us as we uncover how embeddings are transforming the way we interact with and retrieve information in the age of AI.
