Usage Notes

  • Only one knowledgebase can exist per project
  • The embedding model cannot be changed after creation
  • Choose the embedding model based on your needs:
    • text-embedding-ada-002: Legacy model, good general purpose
    • text-embedding-3-small: Faster, more efficient
    • text-embedding-3-large: Most powerful, best quality
