Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be great to have support for OpenAI's embedding models. As of now, to the best of my knowledge, only local embeddings are supported.

Believe you're correct. I'd go further and suggest to support the OpenAI API's embedding endpoint spec in general so that other compatible sources could be used.

Hi, I'm not entirely sure why or where this is useful, as we don't utilize any embeddings api directly and only use the chat completion api which handles embedding automatically. Could you guide me through and elaborate more on its potential use cases?

@tjbck right now the RAG feature uses an internal embedding model in the container to convert text into vectors, we're proposing to be able to use API embeddings models as alternative, some of them work significantly better than the default all-MiniLM-L6-v2 used right now.

@justinh-rahb makes sense if that's what OP meant, thanks for the explanation!

will this permit choice of index?

not sure, but for data sources that are somewhat internally structured (e.g. academic papers), when iterating through data sources the tree structure may perform differently.

Is it me or does this openai embedding model not work correctly? In the Document settings, OpenAI settings don't seem to work.

u need to restart the server for this setting to take effect
