Embeddings
Also known as: vector embeddings, text embeddings, embeddings
Turning text, images, or audio into vectors of numbers so that things with similar meaning land close together and can be compared by math.
Embeddings
An embedding maps a piece of content — a sentence, an image, a clip — into a vector positioned so that semantic similarity becomes geometric closeness. Once meaning is geometry, you can search, cluster, and recommend with plain distance math.
This is the quiet primitive under most modern AI features. Most “smart” behaviour I build reduces to choosing the right embedding model and then doing honest arithmetic on the vectors it produces.
