What is Embeddings?
Embeddings are numeric fingerprints of meaning — lists of numbers that place similar pieces of text near each other, so software can measure how related two passages are.
- Free, no account
- Open source, MIT
- Apple Silicon, macOS 13 or later
In depth
What it means
They're what makes semantic search possible: compare the fingerprints and you surface passages about the same idea, not just the same words.
Embeddings can run on-device — Humla uses EmbeddingGemma through Ollama — so your notes are indexed for search by meaning without anything leaving your machine.
