PIL images, PNG bytes and local image paths in VoyageAI source embeddings are saved directly as JPEG. RGBA, grayscale-with-alpha (LA) and palette (P) images therefore raise `OSError: cannot write mode ... as JPEG` before the provider is called. Convert to RGB at all three JPEG encoding sites. The caller’s original PIL image remains unchanged. Document that alpha is discarded and callers should composite onto a chosen background when it matters. Validation: - New image regressions + existing VoyageAI tests: **18 failed / 26 passed before → 44 passed after**. Tests cover both multimodal models, PIL/bytes/Path, RGBA/LA/P/RGB, decoded JPEG pixels and invalid images. - Independent local LanceDB table ingestion smoke: three PNG modes stored with 1024-dimensional vectors, original bytes preserved. Uses the freshly built current native extension. - Adjacent local embedding tests: 15 passed, 1 skipped (no OpenAI key), 9 deselected. The separate Flickr download test failed with `RemoteDisconnected`; it is excluded from the local result. - Pyright: 0 errors; CI-pinned Ruff 0.9.9 lint and Python formatting passed. External VoyageAI calls are stubbed; real Pillow conversion and LanceDB ingestion execute locally. No live provider or full-repository test result is claimed. AI assistance was used for implementation and validation.

The ultimate multimodal data platform for AI/ML applications.
LanceDB is designed for fast, scalable, and production-ready vector search. It is built on top of the Lance columnar format. You can store, index, and search over petabytes of multimodal data and vectors with ease. LanceDB is a central location where developers can build, train and analyze their AI workloads.
