Re:Launch HN: Metal (YC W23) – Embeddings as a Service by alsodumb on Tuesday March 28, 2023 @12:51PM (#35344069)
Love the idea and I’ve been looking for something like this. I wrongly assumed that Pinecone offered exactly this and was disappointed to realize that I had to figure out the embedding generation myself.

I am yet to completely explore your website, but do you by any chance let me export the generated embeddings to manage them using say Pinecone?

Also, any chance you guys plan to integrate OCR tools in your pipeline? Say I have images of text, which I know is text and don’t want to use a inage model for generating embeddings.

Thank you! We have an OCR pipeline already so you can upload the files and we’ll process them, chunk the text, create the embeddings and index them. Right now, we support PDFs, but the pipeline is ready to accept images as well. We’re opening those file types this week!
