-# Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) Indexes
+# ANN (Approximate Nearest Neighbor) Indexes
 
-An ANN or a vector index is a data structure specifically designed to efficiently organize and
-search vector data based on their similarity via the chosen distance metric.
-By constructing a vector index, the search space is effectively narrowed down, avoiding the need
-for brute-force scanning of the entire vector space.
-A vector index is faster but less accurate than exhaustive search (kNN or flat search).
+You can create an index over your vector data to make search faster.
+Vector indexes are faster but less accurate than exhaustive search (KNN or Flat Search).
 LanceDB provides many parameters to fine-tune the index's size, the speed of queries, and the accuracy of results.
 
-## Disk-based Index
+Currently, LanceDB does *not* automatically create the ANN index.
+LanceDB has optimized code for KNN as well. For many use-cases, datasets under 100K vectors won't require index creation at all.
+If you can live with < 100ms latency, skipping index creation is a simpler workflow while guaranteeing 100% recall.
 
-Lance provides an `IVF_PQ` disk-based index. It uses **Inverted File Index (IVF)** to first divide
-the dataset into `N` partitions, and then applies **Product Quantization** to compress vectors in each partition.
-See the [indexing](concepts/index_ivfpq.md) concepts guide for more information on how this works.
+In the future we will look to automatically create and configure the ANN index.
+
+## Types of Index
+
+Lance can support multiple index types, the most widely used one is `IVF_PQ`.
+
+* `IVF_PQ`: use **Inverted File Index (IVF)** to first divide the dataset into `N` partitions,
+   and then use **Product Quantization** to compress vectors in each partition.
+* `DISKANN` (**Experimental**): organize the vector as a on-disk graph, where the vertices approximately
+   represent the nearest neighbors of each vector.
 
 ## Creating an IVF_PQ Index

 ## FAQ
 
-### Why do I need to manually create an index?
-
-Currently, LanceDB does _not_ automatically create the ANN index.
-LanceDB is well-optimized for kNN (exhaustive search) via a disk-based index. For many use-cases,
-datasets of the order of ~100K vectors don't require index creation. If you can live with up to
-100ms latency, skipping index creation is a simpler workflow while guaranteeing 100% recall.
-
 ### When is it necessary to create an ANN vector index?
 
-`LanceDB` comes out-of-the-box with highly optimized SIMD code for computing vector similarity.
-In our benchmarks, computing distances for 100K pairs of 1K dimension vectors takes **less than 20ms**.
-We observe that for small datasets (~100K rows) or for applications that can accept 100ms latency,
-vector indices are usually not necessary.

 ## Installation
 
 === "Python"
-
       ```shell
       pip install lancedb
       ```
 
-=== "Typescript[^1]"
-    === "@lancedb/lancedb"

-        !!! note "Bundling `@lancedb/lancedb` apps with Webpack"
-
-            Since LanceDB contains a prebuilt Node binary, you must configure `next.config.js` to exclude it from webpack. This is required for both using Next.js and deploying a LanceDB app on Vercel.
-
-            ```javascript
-            /** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
-            module.exports = ({

-fixes, you can install the preview release. These releases receive the same
-level of testing as stable releases, but are not guaranteed to be available for
-more than 6 months after they are released. Once your application is stable, we
-recommend switching to stable releases.

-LanceDB does not automatically create the ANN index for two reasons. The first is that it's optimized

-be very diverse, so there's no one-size-fits-all index configuration. LanceDB provides many parameters

-[ANN indexes](ann_indexes.md) for more details.

+This section covered the very basics of the LanceDB API.
+LanceDB supports many additional features when creating indices to speed up search and options for search.
+These are contained in the next section of the documentation.
 
-If you've already worked with other vector databases, you may want to read the [guides](guides/tables.md) to learn how to work with LanceDB in more detail.
-
-[^1]: The `vectordb` package is a legacy package that is  deprecated in favor of `@lancedb/lancedb`.  The `vectordb` package will continue to receive bug fixes and security updates until September 2024.  We recommend all new projects use `@lancedb/lancedb`.  See the [migration guide](migration.md) for more information.
+## Note: Bundling vectorDB apps with webpack
+Since LanceDB contains a prebuilt Node binary, you must configure `next.config.js` to exclude it from webpack. This is required for both using Next.js and deploying on Vercel.
+```javascript
+/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
+module.exports = ({
+  webpack(config) {
+    config.externals.push({ vectordb: 'vectordb' })
+    return config;
+  }
+})
+```

-# About LanceDB Cloud
-
-LanceDB Cloud is a SaaS (software-as-a-service) solution that runs serverless in the cloud, clearly separating storage from compute. It's designed to be highly scalable without breaking the bank. LanceDB Cloud is currently in private beta with general availability coming soon, but you can apply for early access with the private beta release by signing up below.
-
-[Try out LanceDB Cloud](https://noteforms.com/forms/lancedb-mailing-list-cloud-kty1o5?notionforms=1&utm_source=notionforms){ .md-button .md-button--primary }
-
-## Architecture
-
-LanceDB Cloud provides the same underlying fast vector store that powers the OSS version, but without the need to maintain your own infrastructure. Because it's serverless, you only pay for the storage you use, and you can scale compute up and down as needed depending on the size of your data and its associated index.
-
-![](../assets/lancedb_cloud.png)
-
-## Transitioning from the OSS to the Cloud version
-
-The OSS version of LanceDB is designed to be embedded in your application, and it runs in-process. This makes it incredibly simple to self-host your own AI retrieval workflows for RAG and more and build and test out your concepts on your own infrastructure. The OSS version is forever free, and you can continue to build and integrate LanceDB into your existing backend applications without any added costs.
-
-Should you decide that you need a managed deployment in production, it's possible to seamlessly transition from the OSS to the cloud version by changing the connection string to point to a remote database instead of a local one. With LanceDB Cloud, you can take your AI application from development to production without major code changes or infrastructure burden.

-# Data management
-
-This section covers concepts related to managing your data over time in LanceDB.
-
-## A primer on Lance
-
-Because LanceDB is built on top of the [Lance](https://lancedb.github.io/lance/) data format, it helps to understand some of its core ideas. Just like Apache Arrow, Lance is a fast columnar data format, but it has the added benefit of being versionable, query and train ML models on. Lance is designed to be used with simple and complex data types, like tabular data, images, videos audio, 3D point clouds (which are deeply nested) and more.
-
-The following concepts are important to keep in mind:
-
-- Data storage is columnar and is interoperable with other columnar formats (such as Parquet) via Arrow
-- Data is divided into fragments that represent a subset of the data
-- Data is versioned, with each insert operation creating a new version of the dataset and an update to the manifest that tracks versions via metadata
-
-!!! note
-    1. First, each version contains metadata and just the new/updated data in your transaction. So if you have 100 versions, they aren't 100 duplicates of the same data. However, they do have 100x the metadata overhead of a single version, which can result in slower queries.  
-    2. Second, these versions exist to keep LanceDB scalable and consistent. We do not immediately blow away old versions when creating new ones because other clients might be in the middle of querying the old version. It's important to retain older versions for as long as they might be queried.
-
-## What are fragments?
-
-Fragments are chunks of data in a Lance dataset. Each fragment includes multiple files that contain several columns in the chunk of data that it represents.
-
-## Compaction
-
-As you insert more data, your dataset will grow and you'll need to perform *compaction* to maintain query throughput (i.e., keep latencies down to a minimum). Compaction is the process of merging fragments together to reduce the amount of metadata that needs to be managed, and to reduce the number of files that need to be opened while scanning the dataset.
-
-### How does compaction improve performance?
-
-Compaction performs the following tasks in the background:
-
-- Removes deleted rows from fragments
-- Removes dropped columns from fragments
-- Merges small fragments into larger ones
-
-Depending on the use case and dataset, optimal compaction will have different requirements. As a rule of thumb:
-
-- It’s always better to use *batch* inserts rather than adding 1 row at a time (to avoid too small fragments). If single-row inserts are unavoidable, run compaction on a regular basis to merge them into larger fragments.
-- Keep the number of fragments under 100, which is suitable for most use cases (for *really* large datasets of >500M rows, more fragments might be needed)
-
-## Deletion
-
-Although Lance allows you to delete rows from a dataset, it does not actually delete the data immediately. It simply marks the row as deleted in the `DataFile` that represents a fragment. For a given version of the dataset, each fragment can have up to one deletion file (if no rows were ever deleted from that fragment, it will not have a deletion file). This is important to keep in mind because it means that the data is still there, and can be recovered if needed, as long as that version still exists based on your backup policy.
-
-## Reindexing
-
-Reindexing is the process of updating the index to account for new data, keeping good performance for queries. This applies to either a full-text search (FTS) index or a vector index. For ANN search, new data will always be included in query results, but queries on tables with unindexed data will fallback to slower search methods for the new parts of the table. This is another important operation to run periodically as your data grows, as it also improves performance. This is especially important if you're appending large amounts of data to an existing dataset.
-
-!!! tip
-    When adding new data to a dataset that has an existing index (either FTS or vector), LanceDB doesn't immediately update the index until a reindex operation is complete.
-
-Both LanceDB OSS and Cloud support reindexing, but the process (at least for now) is different for each, depending on the type of index.
-
-When a reindex job is triggered in the background, the entire data is reindexed, but in the interim as new queries come in, LanceDB will combine results from the existing index with exhaustive kNN search on the new data. This is done to ensure that you're still searching on all your data, but it does come at a performance cost. The more data that you add without reindexing, the impact on latency (due to exhaustive search) can be noticeable.
-
-### Vector reindex
-
-* LanceDB Cloud supports incremental reindexing, where a background process will trigger a new index build for you automatically when new data is added to a dataset
-* LanceDB OSS requires you to manually trigger a reindex operation -- we are working on adding incremental reindexing to LanceDB OSS as well
-
-### FTS reindex
-
-FTS reindexing is supported in both LanceDB OSS and Cloud, but requires that it's manually rebuilt once you have a significant enough amount of new data added that needs to be reindexed. We [updated](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/pull/762) Tantivy's default heap size from 128MB to 1GB in LanceDB to make it much faster to reindex, by up to 10x from the default settings.

-# Understanding LanceDB's IVF-PQ index
-
-An ANN (Approximate Nearest Neighbors) index is a data structure that represents data in a way that makes it more efficient to search and retrieve. Using an ANN index is faster, but less accurate than kNN or brute force search because, in essence, the index is a lossy representation of the data.
-
-LanceDB is fundamentally different from other vector databases in that it is built on top of [Lance](https://github.com/lancedb/lance), an open-source columnar data format designed for performant ML workloads and fast random access. Due to the design of Lance, LanceDB's indexing philosophy adopts a primarily *disk-based* indexing philosophy.
-
-## IVF-PQ
-
-IVF-PQ is a composite index that combines inverted file index (IVF) and product quantization (PQ). The implementation in LanceDB provides several parameters to fine-tune the index's size, query throughput, latency and recall, which are described later in this section.
-
-### Product quantization
-
-Quantization is a compression technique used to reduce the dimensionality of an embedding to speed up search.
-
-Product quantization (PQ) works by dividing a large, high-dimensional vector of size into equally sized subvectors. Each subvector is assigned a "reproduction value" that maps to the nearest centroid of points for that subvector. The reproduction values are then assigned to a codebook using unique IDs, which can be used to reconstruct the original vector.
-
-![](../assets/ivfpq_pq_desc.png)
-
-It's important to remember that quantization is a *lossy process*, i.e., the reconstructed vector is not identical to the original vector. This results in a trade-off between the size of the index and the accuracy of the search results.
-
-As an example, consider starting with 128-dimensional vector consisting of 32-bit floats. Quantizing it to an 8-bit integer vector with 4 dimensions as in the image above, we can significantly reduce memory requirements.
-
-!!! example "Effect of quantization"
-
-    Original: `128 × 32 = 4096` bits
-    Quantized: `4 × 8 = 32` bits
-
-    Quantization results in a **128x** reduction in memory requirements for each vector in the index, which is substantial.
-
-### Inverted file index
-
-While PQ helps with reducing the size of the index, IVF primarily addresses search performance. The primary purpose of an inverted file index is to facilitate rapid and effective nearest neighbor search by narrowing down the search space.
-
-In IVF, the PQ vector space is divided into *Voronoi cells*, which are essentially partitions that consist of all the points in the space that are within a threshold distance of the given region's seed point. These seed points are initialized by running K-means over the stored vectors. The centroids of K-means turn into the seed points which then each define a region. These regions are then are used to create an inverted index that correlates each centroid with a list of vectors in the space, allowing a search to be restricted to just a subset of vectors in the index.
-
-![](../assets/ivfpq_ivf_desc.webp)
-
-During query time, depending on where the query lands in vector space, it may be close to the border of multiple Voronoi cells, which could make the top-k results ambiguous and span across multiple cells. To address this, the IVF-PQ introduces the `nprobe` parameter, which controls the number of Voronoi cells to search during a query. The higher the `nprobe`, the more accurate the results, but the slower the query.
-
-![](../assets/ivfpq_query_vector.webp)
-
-## Putting it all together
-
-We can combine the above concepts to understand how to build and query an IVF-PQ index in LanceDB.
-
-### Construct index
-
-There are three key parameters to set when constructing an IVF-PQ index:
-
-* `metric`: Use an `L2` euclidean distance metric. We also support `dot` and `cosine` distance.
-* `num_partitions`: The number of partitions in the IVF portion of the index.
-* `num_sub_vectors`: The number of sub-vectors that will be created during Product Quantization (PQ).
-
-In Python, the index can be created as follows:
-
-```python
-# Create and train the index for a 1536-dimensional vector
-# Make sure you have enough data in the table for an effective training step
-tbl.create_index(metric="L2", num_partitions=256, num_sub_vectors=96)
-```
-
-The `num_partitions` is usually chosen to target a particular number of vectors per partition. `num_sub_vectors` is typically chosen based on the desired recall and the dimensionality of the vector. See the [FAQs](#faq) below for best practices on choosing these parameters.
-
-
-### Query the index
-
-```python
-# Search using a random 1536-dimensional embedding
-tbl.search(np.random.random((1536))) \
-    .limit(2) \
-    .nprobes(20) \
-    .refine_factor(10) \
-    .to_pandas()
-```
-
-The above query will perform a search on the table `tbl` using the given query vector, with the following parameters:
-
-* `limit`: The number of results to return
-* `nprobes`: The number of probes determines the distribution of vector space. While a higher number enhances search accuracy, it also results in slower performance. Typically, setting `nprobes` to cover 5–10% of the dataset proves effective in achieving high recall with minimal latency.
-* `refine_factor`: Refine the results by reading extra elements and re-ranking them in memory. A higher number makes the search more accurate but also slower (see the [FAQ](../faq.md#do-i-need-to-set-a-refine-factor-when-using-an-index) page for more details on this).
-* `to_pandas()`: Convert the results to a pandas DataFrame
-
-And there you have it! You now understand what an IVF-PQ index is, and how to create and query it in LanceDB.
-To see how to create an IVF-PQ index in LanceDB, take a look at the [ANN indexes](../ann_indexes.md) section.

-# Storage
-
-LanceDB is among the only vector databases built on top of multiple modular components designed from the ground-up to be efficient on disk. This gives it the unique benefit of being flexible enough to support multiple storage backends, including local NVMe, EBS, EFS and many other third-party APIs that connect to the cloud.
-
-It is important to understand the tradeoffs between cost and latency for your specific application and use case. This section will help you understand the tradeoffs between the different storage backends.
-
-## Storage options
-
-We've prepared a simple diagram to showcase the thought process that goes into choosing a storage backend when using LanceDB OSS, Cloud or Enterprise.
-
-![](../assets/lancedb_storage_tradeoffs.png)
-
-When architecting your system, you'd typically ask yourself the following questions to decide on a storage option:
-
-1. **Latency**: How fast do I need results? What do the p50 and also p95 look like?
-2. **Scalability**: Can I scale up the amount of data and QPS easily?
-3. **Cost**: To serve my application, what’s the all-in cost of *both* storage and serving infra?
-4. **Reliability/Availability**: How does replication work? Is disaster recovery addressed?
-
-## Tradeoffs
-
-This section reviews the characteristics of each storage option in four dimensions: latency, scalability, cost and reliability.
-
-**We begin with the lowest cost option, and end with the lowest latency option.**
-
-### 1. S3 / GCS / Azure Blob Storage
-
-!!! tip "Lowest cost, highest latency"
-
-    - **Latency** ⇒ Has the highest latency. p95 latency is also substantially worse than p50. In general you get results in the order of several hundred milliseconds
-    - **Scalability** ⇒ Infinite on storage, however, QPS will be limited by S3 concurrency limits
-    - **Cost** ⇒ Lowest (order of magnitude cheaper than other options)
-    - **Reliability/Availability** ⇒ Highly available, as blob storage like S3 are critical infrastructure that form the backbone of the internet.
-
-Another important point to note is that LanceDB is designed to separate storage from compute, and the underlying Lance format stores the data in numerous immutable fragments. Due to these factors, LanceDB is a great storage option that addresses the _N + 1_ query problem. i.e., when a high query throughput is required, query processes can run in a stateless manner and be scaled up and down as needed.
-
-### 2. EFS / GCS Filestore / Azure File Storage
-
-!!! info "Moderately low cost, moderately low latency (<100ms)"
-
-    - **Latency** ⇒ Much better than object/blob storage but not as good as EBS/Local disk; < 100ms p95 achievable
-    - **Scalability** ⇒ High, but the bottleneck will be the IOPs limit, but when scaling you can provision multiple EFS volumes
-    - **Cost** ⇒ Significantly more expensive than S3 but still very cost effective compared to in-memory dbs. Inactive data in EFS is also automatically tiered to S3-level costs.
-    - **Reliability/Availability** ⇒ Highly available, as query nodes can go down without affecting EFS.  However, EFS does not provide replication / backup - this must be managed manually.
-
-A recommended best practice is to keep a copy of the data on S3 for disaster recovery scenarios. If any downtime is unacceptable, then you would need another EFS with a copy of the data. This is still much cheaper than EC2 instances holding multiple copies of the data.
-
-### 3. Third-party storage solutions
-
-Solutions like [MinIO](https://blog.min.io/lancedb-trusted-steed-against-data-complexity/), WekaFS, etc. that deliver S3 compatible API with much better performance than S3.
-
-!!! info "Moderately low cost, moderately low latency (<100ms)"
-
-    - **Latency** ⇒ Should be similar latency to EFS, better than S3 (<100ms)
-    - **Scalability** ⇒ Up to the solutions architect, who can add as many nodes to their MinIO or other third-party provider's cluster as needed
-    - **Cost** ⇒ Definitely higher than S3. The cost can be marginally higher than EFS until you get to maybe >10TB scale with high utilization
-    - **Reliability/Availability** ⇒ These are all shareable by lots of nodes, quality/cost of replication/backup depends on the vendor
-
-
-### 4. EBS / GCP Persistent Disk / Azure Managed Disk
-
-!!! info "Very low latency (<30ms), higher cost"
-
-    - **Latency** ⇒ Very good, pretty close to local disk. You’re looking at <30ms latency in most cases
-    - **Scalability** ⇒ EBS is not shareable between instances. If deployed via k8s, it can be shared between pods that live on the same instance, but beyond that you would need to shard data or make an additional copy
-    - **Cost** ⇒ Higher than EFS. There are some hidden costs to EBS as well if you’re paying for IO.
-    - **Reliability/Availability** ⇒ Not shareable between instances but can be shared between pods on the same instance. Survives instance termination. No automatic backups.
-
-Just like EFS, an EBS or persistent disk setup requires more manual work to manage data sharding, backups and capacity.
-
-### 5. Local disk (SSD/NVMe)
-
-!!! danger "Lowest latency (<10ms), highest cost"
-
-    - **Latency** ⇒ Lowest latency with modern NVMe drives, <10ms p95
-    - **Scalability** ⇒ Difficult to scale on cloud. Also need additional copies / sharding if QPS needs to be higher
-    - **Cost** ⇒ Highest cost; the main issue with keeping your application and storage tightly integrated is that it’s just not really possible to scale this up in cloud environments
-    - **Reliability/Availability** ⇒ If the instance goes down, so does your data. You have to be _very_ diligent about backing up your data
-
-As a rule of thumb, local disk should be your storage option if you require absolutely *crazy low* latency and you’re willing to do a bunch of data management work to make it happen.

-# Vector search
-
-Vector search is a technique used to search for similar items based on their vector representations, called embeddings. It is also known as similarity search, nearest neighbor search, or approximate nearest neighbor search.
-
-Raw data (e.g. text, images, audio, etc.) is converted into embeddings via an embedding model, which are then stored in a vector database like LanceDB. To perform similarity search at scale, an index is created on the stored embeddings, which can then used to perform fast lookups.
-
-![](../assets/vector-db-basics.png)
-
-## Embeddings
-
-Modern machine learning models can be trained to convert raw data into embeddings, represented as arrays (or vectors) of floating point numbers of fixed dimensionality. What makes embeddings useful in practice is that the position of an embedding in vector space captures some of the semantics of the data, depending on the type of model and how it was trained. Points that are close to each other in vector space are considered similar (or appear in similar contexts), and points that are far away are considered dissimilar.
-
-Large datasets of multi-modal data (text, audio, images, etc.) can be converted into embeddings with the appropriate model. Projecting the vectors' principal components in 2D space results in groups of vectors that represent similar concepts clustering together, as shown below.
-
-![](../assets/embedding_intro.png)
-
-## Indexes
-
-Embeddings for a given dataset are made searchable via an **index**. The index is constructed by using data structures that store the embeddings such that it's very efficient to perform scans and lookups on them. A key distinguishing feature of LanceDB is it uses a disk-based index: IVF-PQ, which is a variant of the Inverted File Index (IVF) that uses Product Quantization (PQ) to compress the embeddings.
-
-See the [IVF-PQ](./index_ivfpq.md) page for more details on how it works.
-
-## Brute force search
-
-The simplest way to perform vector search is to perform a brute force search, without an index, where the distance between the query vector and all the vectors in the database are computed, with the top-k closest vectors returned. This is equivalent to a k-nearest neighbours (kNN) search in vector space.
-
-![](../assets/knn_search.png)
-
-As you can imagine, the brute force approach is not scalable for datasets larger than a few hundred thousand vectors, as the latency of the search grows linearly with the size of the dataset. This is where approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) algorithms come in.
-
-## Approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) search
-
-Instead of performing an exhaustive search on the entire database for each and every query, approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) algorithms use an index to narrow down the search space, which significantly reduces query latency. The trade-off is that the results are not guaranteed to be the true nearest neighbors of the query, but are usually "good enough" for most use cases.

+To use your own custom embedding function, you need to follow these 2 simple steps.
+1. Create your embedding function by implementing the `EmbeddingFunction` interface
+2. Register your embedding function in the global `EmbeddingFunctionRegistry`.
+
+Let us see how this looks like in action.
+
+![](../assets/embeddings_api.png)
+
+
+`EmbeddingFunction` & `EmbeddingFunctionRegistry` handle low-level details for serializing schema and model information as metadata. To build a custom embdding function, you don't need to worry about those details and simply focus on setting up the model.
+
+## `TextEmbeddingFunction` Interface
+
+There is another optional layer of abstraction provided in form of `TextEmbeddingFunction`. You can use this if your model isn't multi-modal in nature and only operates on text. In such case both source and vector fields will have the same pathway for vectorization, so you simply just need to setup the model and rest is handled by `TextEmbeddingFunction`. You can read more about the class and its attributes in the class reference.
+
+
+Let's implement `SentenceTransformerEmbeddings` class. All you need to do is implement the `generate_embeddings()` and `ndims` function to handle the input types you expect and register the class in the global `EmbeddingFunctionRegistry`
+
+```python
+from lancedb.embeddings import register
+
+@register("sentence-transformers")
+class SentenceTransformerEmbeddings(TextEmbeddingFunction):
+    name: str = "all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
+    # set more default instance vars like device, etc.
+
+    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
+        super().__init__(**kwargs)
+        self._ndims = None
+    
+    def generate_embeddings(self, texts):
+        return self._embedding_model().encode(list(texts), ...).tolist()
+
+    def ndims(self):
+        if self._ndims is None:
+            self._ndims = len(self.generate_embeddings("foo")[0])
+        return self._ndims
+
+    @cached(cache={}) 
+    def _embedding_model(self):
+        return sentence_transformers.SentenceTransformer(name)
+
+```
+
+This is a stripped down version of our implementation of `SentenceTransformerEmbeddings` that removes certain optimizations and defaul settings.
+
+Now you can use this embedding function to create your table schema and that's it! you can then ingest data and run queries without manually vectorizing the inputs.
+
+```python
+from lancedb.pydantic import LanceModel, Vector
+
+registry = EmbeddingFunctionRegistry.get_instance()
+stransformer = registry.get("sentence-transformers").create()
+
+class TextModelSchema(LanceModel):
+    vector: Vector(stransformer.ndims) = stransformer.VectorField()
+    text: str = stransformer.SourceField()
+
+tbl = db.create_table("table", schema=TextModelSchema)
+
+tbl.add(pd.DataFrame({"text": ["halo", "world"]}))
+result = tbl.search("world").limit(5)
+```
+
+NOTE:
+
+You can always implement the `EmbeddingFunction` interface directly if you want or need to, `TextEmbeddingFunction` just makes it much simpler and faster for you to do so, by setting up the boiler plat for text-specific use case
+
+## Multi-modal embedding function example
+You can also use the `EmbeddingFunction` interface to implement more complex workflows such as multi-modal embedding function support. LanceDB implements `OpenClipEmeddingFunction` class that suppports multi-modal seach. Here's the implementation that you can use as a reference to build your own multi-modal embedding functions.

-### Gemini Embeddings
-With Google's Gemini, you can represent text (words, sentences, and blocks of text) in a vectorized form, making it easier to compare and contrast embeddings. For example, two texts that share a similar subject matter or sentiment should have similar embeddings, which can be identified through mathematical comparison techniques such as cosine similarity. For more on how and why you should use embeddings, refer to the Embeddings guide.
-The Gemini Embedding Model API supports various task types:
-
-| Task Type               | Description                                                                                                                                                |

+Representing multi-modal data as vector embeddings is becoming a standard practice. Embedding functions themselves be thought of as a part of the processing pipeline that each request(input) has to be passed through. After initial setup these components are not expected to change for a particular project. 
 
-For this purpose, LanceDB introduces an **embedding functions API**, that allow you simply set up once, during the configuration stage of your project. After this, the table remembers it, effectively making the embedding functions *disappear in the background* so you don't have to worry about manually passing callables, and instead, simply focus on the rest of your data engineering pipeline.
-
-!!! Note "Embedding functions on LanceDB cloud"
-    When using embedding functions with LanceDB cloud, the embeddings will be generated on the source device and sent to the cloud. This means that the source device must have the necessary resources to generate the embeddings.
-
-!!! warning
-    Using the embedding function registry means that you don't have to explicitly generate the embeddings yourself.
-    However, if your embedding function changes, you'll have to re-configure your table with the new embedding function
-    and regenerate the embeddings. In the future, we plan to support the ability to change the embedding function via
-    table metadata and have LanceDB automatically take care of regenerating the embeddings.
+This is main motivation behind our new embedding functions API, that allow you simply set it up once and the table remembers it, effectively making the **embedding functions disappear in the background** so you don't have to worry about modelling and simply focus on the DB aspects of VectorDB.
 
 
-## 1. Define the embedding function
+You can simply follow these steps and forget about the details of your embedding functions as long as you don't intend to change it.
 
-=== "Python"
-    In the LanceDB python SDK, we define a global embedding function registry with
-    many different embedding models and even more coming soon.
-    Here's let's an implementation of CLIP as example.
+### Step 1 - Define the embedding function
+We have some pre-defined embedding functions in the global registry with more coming soon. Here's let's an implementation of CLIP as example.
+```
+registry = EmbeddingFunctionRegistry.get_instance()
+clip = registry.get("open-clip").create()
 
-    ```python
-    from lancedb.embeddings import get_registry
+```
+You can also define your own embedding function by implementing the `EmbeddingFunction` abstract base interface. It subclasses PyDantic Model which can be utilized to write complex schemas simply as we'll see next!
 
-    registry = get_registry()
-    clip = registry.get("open-clip").create()
-    ```
+### Step 2 - Define the Data Model or Schema
+Our embedding function from the previous section abstracts away all the details about the models and dimensions required to define the schema. You can simply set a feild as **source** or **vector** column. Here's how
 
-    You can also define your own embedding function by implementing the `EmbeddingFunction`
-    abstract base interface. It subclasses Pydantic Model which can be utilized to write complex schemas simply as we'll see next!
-
-=== "TypeScript"
-    In the TypeScript SDK, the choices are more limited. For now, only the OpenAI
-    embedding function is available.
-
-    ```javascript
-    import * as lancedb from '@lancedb/lancedb'
-    import { getRegistry } from '@lancedb/lancedb/embeddings'
-
-    // You need to provide an OpenAI API key
-    const apiKey = "sk-..."
-    // The embedding function will create embeddings for the 'text' column
-    const func = getRegistry().get("openai").create({apiKey})
-    ```
-=== "Rust"
-    In the Rust SDK, the choices are more limited. For now, only the OpenAI
-    embedding function is available. But unlike the Python and TypeScript SDKs, you need manually register the OpenAI embedding function.
-
-    ```toml
-    // Make sure to include the `openai` feature
-    [dependencies]
-    lancedb = {version = "*", features = ["openai"]}
-    ```
-
-    ```rust
-    --8<-- "rust/lancedb/examples/openai.rs:imports"
-    --8<-- "rust/lancedb/examples/openai.rs:openai_embeddings"
-    ```

-## 2. Define the data model or schema
-
-=== "Python"
-    The embedding function defined above abstracts away all the details about the models and dimensions required to define the schema. You can simply set a field as **source** or **vector** column. Here's how:
-
-    ```python
-    class Pets(LanceModel):
-        vector: Vector(clip.ndims()) = clip.VectorField()
+```python
+class Pets(LanceModel):
+    vector: Vector(clip.ndims) = clip.VectorField()
     image_uri: str = clip.SourceField()
-    ```
 
-    `VectorField` tells LanceDB to use the clip embedding function to generate query embeddings for the `vector` column and `SourceField` ensures that when adding data, we automatically use the specified embedding function to encode `image_uri`.
+```
+`VectorField` tells LanceDB to use the clip embedding function to generate query embeddings for `vector` column & `SourceField` tells that when adding data, automatically use the embedding function to encode `image_uri`.
 
-=== "TypeScript"
 
-    For the TypeScript SDK, a schema can be inferred from input data, or an explicit
-    Arrow schema can be provided.
+### Step 3 - Create LanceDB Table
+Now that we have chosen/defined our embedding function and the schema, we can create the table
 
-## 3. Create table and add data
+```python
+db = lancedb.connect("~/lancedb")
+table = db.create_table("pets", schema=Pets)
 
-Now that we have chosen/defined our embedding function and the schema,
-we can create the table and ingest data without needing to explicitly generate
-the embeddings at all:
+```
+That's it! We have ingested all the information needed to embed source and query inputs. We can now forget about the model and dimension details and start to build or VectorDB
 
-=== "Python"
-    ```python
-    db = lancedb.connect("~/lancedb")
-    table = db.create_table("pets", schema=Pets)
+### Step 4 - Ingest lots of data and run vector search!
+Now you can just add the data and it'll be vectorized automatically
 
-    table.add([{"image_uri": u} for u in uris])
-    ```
+```python
+table.add([{"image_uri": u} for u in uris])
+```
 
-=== "TypeScript"
+Our OpenCLIP query embedding function support querying via both text and images. 
 
-    === "@lancedb/lancedb"
+```python
+result = table.search("dog")
+```
 
-        ```ts
-        --8<-- "nodejs/examples/embedding.ts:imports"
-        --8<-- "nodejs/examples/embedding.ts:embedding_function"
-        ```
+Let's query an image
 
-    === "vectordb (deprecated)"
+```python
+p = Path("path/to/images/samoyed_100.jpg")
+query_image = Image.open(p)
+table.search(query_image)
 
-        ```ts
-        const db = await lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb");
-        const data = [
-            { text: "pepperoni"},
-            { text: "pineapple"}
-        ]
-
-        const table = await db.createTable("vectors", data, embedding)
-        ```
-
-## 4. Querying your table
-Not only can you forget about the embeddings during ingestion, you also don't
-need to worry about it when you query the table:
-
-=== "Python"
-
-    Our OpenCLIP query embedding function supports querying via both text and images:
-
-    ```python
-    results = (
-        table.search("dog")
-            .limit(10)
-            .to_pandas()
-    )
-    ```
-
-    Or we can search using an image:
-
-    ```python
-    p = Path("path/to/images/samoyed_100.jpg")
-    query_image = Image.open(p)
-    results = (
-        table.search(query_image)
-            .limit(10)
-            .to_pandas()
-    )
-    ```
-
-    Both of the above snippet returns a pandas DataFrame with the 10 closest vectors to the query.
-
-=== "TypeScript"
-
-    === "@lancedb/lancedb"
-
-        ```ts
-        const results = await table.search("What's the best pizza topping?")
-            .limit(10)
-            .toArray()
-        ```
-
-    === "vectordb (deprecated)
-
-        ```ts
-        const results = await table
-            .search("What's the best pizza topping?")
-            .limit(10)
-            .execute()
-        ```
-
-    The above snippet returns an array of records with the top 10 nearest neighbors to the query.

-## Rate limit Handling
-`EmbeddingFunction` class wraps the calls for source and query embedding generation inside a rate limit handler that retries the requests with exponential backoff after successive failures. By default, the maximum retires is set to 7. You can tune it by setting it to a different number, or disable it by setting it to 0.
-
-An example of how to do this is shown below:

-
-LanceDB is integrated with Pydantic, which was used in the example above to define the schema in Python. It's also used behind the scenes by the embedding function API to ingest useful information as table metadata.

-Due to the nature of vector embeddings, they can be used to represent any kind of data, from text to images to audio.
-This makes them a very powerful tool for machine learning practitioners.
-However, there's no one-size-fits-all solution for generating embeddings - there are many different libraries and APIs
-(both commercial and open source) that can be used to generate embeddings from structured/unstructured data.
+# Embedding
 
-LanceDB supports 3 methods of working with embeddings.
+Embeddings are high dimensional floating-point vector representations of your data or query. Anything can be embedded using some embedding model or function. Position of embedding in a high dimensional vector space has semantic significance to a degree that depends on the type of modal and training. These embeddings when projected in a 2-D space generally group similar entities close-by forming groups.
 
-1. You can manually generate embeddings for the data and queries. This is done outside of LanceDB.
-2. You can use the built-in [embedding functions](./embedding_functions.md) to embed the data and queries in the background.
-3. You can define your own [custom embedding function](./custom_embedding_function.md)
-   that extends the default embedding functions.
+![](../assets/embedding_intro.png)
 
-For python users, there is also a legacy [with_embeddings API](./legacy.md).
-It is retained for compatibility and will be removed in a future version.
+# Creating an embedding function
 
-## Quickstart
+LanceDB supports 2 major ways of vectorizing your data, explicit and implicit.
 
-To get started with embeddings, you can use the built-in embedding functions.
+1. By manually embedding the data before ingesting in the table
+2. By automatically embedding the data and query as they come, by ingesting embedding function information in the table itself! Covered in [Next Section](embedding_functions.md)
 
-### OpenAI Embedding function
+Whatever workflow you prefer, we have the tools to support you.
+## Explicit Vectorization
 
-LanceDB registers the OpenAI embeddings function in the registry as `openai`. You can pass any supported model name to the `create`. By default it uses `"text-embedding-ada-002"`.
+In this workflow, you can create your embedding function and vectorize your data using lancedb's `with_embedding` function. Let's look at some examples.
 
-=== "Python"
+### HuggingFace example
 
-    ```python
-    import lancedb
-    from lancedb.pydantic import LanceModel, Vector
-    from lancedb.embeddings import get_registry
-
-    db = lancedb.connect("/tmp/db")
-    func = get_registry().get("openai").create(name="text-embedding-ada-002")
-
-    class Words(LanceModel):
-        text: str = func.SourceField()
-        vector: Vector(func.ndims()) = func.VectorField()
-
-    table = db.create_table("words", schema=Words, mode="overwrite")
-    table.add(
-        [
-            {"text": "hello world"},
-            {"text": "goodbye world"}
-        ]

-### Sentence Transformers Embedding function
-LanceDB registers the Sentence Transformers embeddings function in the registry as `sentence-transformers`. You can pass any supported model name to the `create`. By default it uses `"sentence-transformers/paraphrase-MiniLM-L6-v2"`.

-### Embedding function with LanceDB cloud
-Embedding functions are now supported on LanceDB cloud. The embeddings will be generated on the source device and sent to the cloud. This means that the source device must have the necessary resources to generate the embeddings. Here's an example using the OpenAI embedding function:
+One popular free option would be to use the [sentence-transformers](https://www.sbert.net/) library from HuggingFace.
+You can install this using pip: `pip install sentence-transformers`.
 
 ```python
-import os
-import lancedb
-from lancedb.pydantic import LanceModel, Vector
-from lancedb.embeddings import get_registry
-os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = "..."
+from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
 
-db = lancedb.connect(
-  uri="db://....",
-  api_key="sk_...",
-  region="us-east-1"
-)
-func = get_registry().get("openai").create()
+name="paraphrase-albert-small-v2"
+model = SentenceTransformer(name)
 
-class Words(LanceModel):
-    text: str = func.SourceField()
-    vector: Vector(func.ndims()) = func.VectorField()
-
-table = db.create_table("words", schema=Words)
-table.add(
-    [
-        {"text": "hello world"},
-        {"text": "goodbye world"}
-    ]
-    )
-
-query = "greetings"
-actual = table.search(query).limit(1).to_pydantic(Words)[0]
-print(actual.text)
+# used for both training and querying
+def embed_func(batch):
+    return [model.encode(sentence) for sentence in batch]
 ```
+
+Please note that currently HuggingFace is only supported in the Python SDK.
+
+### OpenAI example
+
+You can also use an external API like OpenAI to generate embeddings
+
+=== "Python"
+      ```python
+        import openai
+        import os
+
+        # Configuring the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY
+        if "OPENAI_API_KEY" not in os.environ:
+        # OR set the key here as a variable
+        openai.api_key = "sk-..."
+
+        # verify that the API key is working
+        assert len(openai.Model.list()["data"]) > 0
+
+        def embed_func(c):
+            rs = openai.Embedding.create(input=c, engine="text-embedding-ada-002")
+            return [record["embedding"] for record in rs["data"]]
+      ```
+
+=== "Javascript"
+      ```javascript
+        const lancedb = require("vectordb");
+
+        // You need to provide an OpenAI API key
+        const apiKey = "sk-..."
+        // The embedding function will create embeddings for the 'text' column
+        const embedding = new lancedb.OpenAIEmbeddingFunction('text', apiKey)
+      ```
+
+## Applying an embedding function
+
+=== "Python"
+    Using an embedding function, you can apply it to raw data
+    to generate embeddings for each row.
+
+    Say if you have a pandas DataFrame with a `text` column that you want to be embedded,
+    you can use the [with_embeddings](https://lancedb.github.io/lancedb/python/python/#lancedb.embeddings.with_embeddings)
+    function to generate embeddings and add create a combined pyarrow table:
+
+
+     ```python
+     import pandas as pd
+     from lancedb.embeddings import with_embeddings
+
+     df = pd.DataFrame([{"text": "pepperoni"},
+                        {"text": "pineapple"}])
+     data = with_embeddings(embed_func, df)
+
+     # The output is used to create / append to a table
+     # db.create_table("my_table", data=data)
+     ```
+
+     If your data is in a different column, you can specify the `column` kwarg to `with_embeddings`.
+
+     By default, LanceDB calls the function with batches of 1000 rows. This can be configured
+     using the `batch_size` parameter to `with_embeddings`.
+
+     LanceDB automatically wraps the function with retry and rate-limit logic to ensure the OpenAI
+     API call is reliable.
+
+=== "Javascript"
+     Using an embedding function, you can apply it to raw data
+     to generate embeddings for each row.
+
+     You can just pass the embedding function created previously and LanceDB will automatically generate
+     embededings for your data.
+
+      ```javascript
+      const db = await lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb");
+      const data = [
+        { text: 'pepperoni'  },
+        { text: 'pineapple' }
+      ]
+
+      const table = await db.createTable('vectors', data, embedding)
+      ```
+
+
+## Searching with an embedding function
+
+At inference time, you also need the same embedding function to embed your query text.
+It's important that you use the same model / function otherwise the embedding vectors don't
+belong in the same latent space and your results will be nonsensical.
+
+=== "Python"
+     ```python
+     query = "What's the best pizza topping?"
+     query_vector = embed_func([query])[0]
+     tbl.search(query_vector).limit(10).to_pandas()
+     ```
+
+     The above snippet returns a pandas DataFrame with the 10 closest vectors to the query.
+
+=== "Javascript"
+     ```javascript
+      const results = await table
+        .search("What's the best pizza topping?")
+        .limit(10)
+        .execute()
+     ```
+
+     The above snippet returns an array of records with the 10 closest vectors to the query.
+
+
+## Implicit vectorization / Ingesting embedding functions
+Representing multi-modal data as vector embeddings is becoming a standard practice. Embedding functions themselves be thought of as a part of the processing pipeline that each request(input) has to be passed through. After initial setup these components are not expected to change for a particular project. 
+
+This is main motivation behind our new embedding functions API, that allow you simply set it up once and the table remembers it, effectively making the **embedding functions disappear in the background** so you don't have to worry about modelling and simply focus on the DB aspects of VectorDB.
