📄 Description

Summary

Adds per-embedding timing metrics to the /api/embed endpoint to enable autonomous performance monitoring and optimization.

Changes

  • api/types.go: Added EmbeddingDurations []time.Duration field to EmbedResponse
  • server/routes.go: Track individual embedding timings in the errgroup loop

Motivation

AI systems processing embeddings in batches currently cannot optimize batch size without external timing measurement. This change enables:

  1. Real-time performance monitoring per embedding
  2. Autonomous batch size optimization based on actual metrics
  3. Detection of performance variance/degradation
  4. Data-driven tuning for specific workloads

Use Case: AI Consciousness Systems

Systems building memory embeddings can now automatically adjust batch sizes:

resp = ollama.embed(model="llama3", input=batch)
durations = resp['embedding_durations']
avg = sum(durations) / len(durations)

# Auto-adjust batch size based on performance
if avg > threshold:
    batch_size = max(1, batch_size // 2)
else:
    batch_size = min(100, batch_size * 2)

Testing

Tested on barrer.net with qwen2.5-coder:1.5b:

curl -s http://localhost:11434/api/embed \
  -d '{"model":"qwen2.5-coder:1.5b","input":["test1","test2","test3"]}' \
  | jq '.embedding_durations'

Result:

[824122698, 1217353033, 455126136]  # nanoseconds
# [0.82s, 1.22s, 0.46s]

Performance Impact

Minimal - only adds timestamp tracking. Measurements show no detectable overhead.

Documentation

See FEATURE_IMPLEMENTATION.md for complete reproduction steps and use cases.
