easy-embeddings

Easy vector embeddings for the web platform. Use open source embedding models locally or an API (OpenAI, Voyage, Mixedbread).

🔥 Please note: This project relies on the currently unreleased V3 branch of @xenova/transformers.js combined with a patched, development version of the onnxruntime-web to enable the latest, bleeding edge features (WebGPU and WASM acceleration) alongside unparalleled compatibility (even works in Web Extensions Service Workers).

📚 Install

npm/yarn/bun install easy-embeddings

⚡ Use

Remote inference (call an API)

Single text vector embedding

import { embed } from "easy-embeddings";

// single embedding, german embedding model
const embedding: EmbeddingResponse = await embed("Hallo, Welt!", "mixedbread-ai", {
  model: "mixedbread-ai/deepset-mxbai-embed-de-large-v1",
  normalized: true,
  dimensions: 512,
}, { apiKey: import.meta.env[`mixedbread-ai_api_key`] })

Multi-text vector embeddings

import { embed } from "easy-embeddings";

// single embedding, german embedding model
const embedding: EmbeddingResponse = await embed(["Hello", "World"], "openai", {
  model: "text-embedding-3-small"
}, { apiKey: import.meta.env[`openai_api_key`] })

Local inference

import { embed } from "easy-embeddings";

// single embedding, german embedding model
const embedResult = await embed(
  ["query: Foo", "passage: Bar"],
  "local",
  {
    // https://huggingface.co/intfloat/multilingual-e5-small
    model: "Xenova/multilingual-e5-small",
    modelParams: {
      pooling: "mean",
      normalize: true, // so a single dot product of two vectors is enough to calculate a similarity score
      quantize: true, // use a quantized variant (more efficient, little less accurate)
    },
  },
  {
    modelOptions: {
      hideOnnxWarnings: false, // show warnings as errors in case ONNX runtime has a bad time
      allowRemoteModels: false, // do not download remote models from huggingface.co
      allowLocalModels: true,
      localModelPath: "/models", // loads the model from public dir subfolder "models"
      onnxProxy: false,
    },
  },
);

Advanced: Using a custom WASM runtime loader

import { embed } from "easy-embeddings";
// @ts-ignore
import getModule from "./public/ort-wasm-simd-threaded.jsep";

// single embedding, german embedding model
const embedResult = await embed(
  ["query: Foo", "passage: Bar"],
  "local",
  {
    // https://huggingface.co/intfloat/multilingual-e5-small
    model: "Xenova/multilingual-e5-small",
    modelParams: {
      pooling: "mean",
      normalize: true, // so a single dot product of two vectors is enough to calculate a similarity score
      quantize: true, // use a quantized variant (more efficient, little less accurate)
    },
  },
  {
    importWasmModule:  async (
      _mjsPathOverride: string,
      _wasmPrefixOverride: string,
      _threading: boolean,
    ) => {
      return [
        undefined,
        async (moduleArgs = {}) => {
          return await getModule(moduleArgs);
        },
      ];
    },
    modelOptions: {
      hideOnnxWarnings: false, // show warnings as errors in case ONNX runtime has a bad time
      allowRemoteModels: false, // do not download remote models from huggingface.co
      allowLocalModels: true,
      localModelPath: "/models", // loads the model from public dir subfolder "models"
      onnxProxy: false,
    },
  },
);

Download models locally

You might want to write and execute a script to manually download a model locally:

import { downloadModel } from "easy-embeddings/tools";

// downloads the model into the models folder
await downloadModel('Xenova/multilingual-e5-small', 'public/models')
