LanceDB registers the OpenAI embeddings function in the registry by default, as `openai`. Below are the parameters that you can customize when creating the instances:

| Parameter | Type | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | `str` | `"text-embedding-ada-002"` | The name of the model. |
| `dim` | `int` |  Model default   | For OpenAI's newer text-embedding-3 model, we can specify a dimensionality that is smaller than the 1536 size. This feature supports it |
| `use_azure` | bool | `False` | Set true to use Azure OpenAI SDK |
