Im using this code for generate embeddings

EMBEDDINGS_RESPONSE=$(curl "http://localhost:11434/api/embeddings" -d '{
  "model": "mistral",
  "prompt": "Spiderman is color green"
}')

EMBEDDINGS=$(echo $EMBEDDINGS_RESPONSE | jq '.embedding')

And then when I try to use the embeddings as context for new request

curl  "http://localhost:11434/api/generate" -d "{
  \"model\": \"mistral\",
  \"prompt\": \"Spiderman color\",
  \"context\": $EMBEDDINGS,
  \"stream\": false
}"

I always get null

There's a misunderstanding here. context is intended not for embedding outputs. It's intended for the token output of previous conversations so as to continue the previous response

Yes embeddings are not the same as the context variable returned by /api/generate (which is basically full list of tokens so far). Embeddings are designed for text similarity search. Feel free to ask more questions on what you're trying to do - happy to help!
