+### Imagebind embeddings
+We have support for [imagebind](https://github.com/facebookresearch/ImageBind) model embeddings. You can download our version of the packaged model via - `pip install imagebind-packaged==0.1.2`.
+
+This function is registered as `imagebind` and supports Audio, Video and Text modalities(extending to Thermal,Depth,IMU data):
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default Value | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `name` | `str` | `"imagebind_huge"` | Name of the model. |
+| `device` | `str` | `"cpu"` | The device to run the model on. Can be `"cpu"` or `"gpu"`. |
+| `normalize` | `bool` | `False` | set to `True` to normalize your inputs before model ingestion. |
+
+Below is an example demonstrating how the API works:
+
+```python
+db = lancedb.connect(tmp_path)
+registry = EmbeddingFunctionRegistry.get_instance()
+func = registry.get("imagebind").create()
+
+class ImageBindModel(LanceModel):
+    text: str
+    image_uri: str = func.SourceField()
+    audio_path: str
+    vector: Vector(func.ndims()) = func.VectorField()
+
+# add locally accessible image paths
+text_list=["A dog.", "A car", "A bird"]
+image_paths=[".assets/dog_image.jpg", ".assets/car_image.jpg", ".assets/bird_image.jpg"]
+audio_paths=[".assets/dog_audio.wav", ".assets/car_audio.wav", ".assets/bird_audio.wav"]
+
+# Load data
+inputs = [
+    {"text": a, "audio_path": b, "image_uri": c}
+    for a, b, c in zip(text_list, audio_paths, image_paths)
+]
+
+#create table and add data
+table = db.create_table("img_bind", schema=ImageBindModel)
+table.add(inputs)
+```
+
+Now, we can search using any modality:
+
+#### image search
+```python
+query_image = "./assets/dog_image2.jpg" #download an image and enter that path here
+actual = table.search(query_image).limit(1).to_pydantic(ImageBindModel)[0]
+print(actual.text == "dog")
+```
+#### audio search
+
+```python
+query_audio = "./assets/car_audio2.wav" #download an audio clip and enter path here
+actual = table.search(query_audio).limit(1).to_pydantic(ImageBindModel)[0]
+print(actual.text == "car")
+```
+#### Text search
+You can add any input query and fetch the result as follows:
+```python
+query = "an animal which flies and tweets" 
+actual = table.search(query).limit(1).to_pydantic(ImageBindModel)[0]
+print(actual.text == "bird")
+```
+
