Venice Embeddings

POST /api/v1/embeddings returns vector embeddings for strings. It's OpenAI-compatible: the request and response match https://api.openai.com/v1/embeddings closely enough that the OpenAI SDK works out of the box with baseURL: "https://api.venice.ai/api/v1".

Use when

• You're building retrieval / RAG / similarity search.
• You need text clustering, classification, deduplication, or reranking.
• You want Venice's "no-training, no-retention" stance on inference inputs — embeddings are generated and returned; the API does not publish E2EE semantics on /embeddings the way it does on selected chat models.

Text-only. For image/multimodal signals, either run images through a vision chat model and embed the description, or pick a multimodal-capable embedding model from GET /models?type=embedding (the catalog changes; inspect model_spec on each row).
