The "empty request" trick to preload a model does not currently work for embedding models.

Source: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#how-can-i-preload-a-model-into-ollama-to-get-faster-response-times and #2431

$ curl http://localhost:11434/api/embed -d '{"model": "all-minilm:latest"}'
{"error":"invalid input type"}%       

ollama --version
ollama version is 0.3.4

Can workaround for now using deprecated /embeddings endpoint:

$ curl http://localhost:11434/api/embeddings -d '{"model": "all-minilm:latest"}'
{"embedding":[]}%

Also looks like ollama-js typings need to be updated for this, input/prompt is required for both .embed and .embeddings methods.

I just send a throwaway request with infinite keep_alive, like so:

curl http://localhost:11434/api/embed -d "{\"input\": \"whatever\", \"model\": \"bge-m3\", \"keep_alive\": -1}"
