ai-parrot-embeddings
Concrete backend implementations for the AI-Parrot retrieval stack: embedding models, vector stores, and rerankers.
What's in this package
This satellite contributes modules to three subsystems of the
parrot.* namespace:
parrot.embeddings.{google, huggingface, openai}— embedding backendsparrot.stores.{postgres, pgvector, milvus, arango, bigquery, faiss_store}— vector storesparrot.rerankers.{local, llm}— rerankers
The abstract base classes (EmbeddingModel, AbstractStore, AbstractReranker),
the registries (EmbeddingRegistry), the dispatch maps (supported_embeddings,
supported_stores), and all shared types (parrot.stores.models.Document,
SearchResult, etc.) remain in the ai-parrot core package.
Import contract
This package uses PEP 420 implicit namespace packages. Its modules ship
directly under the existing parrot.* namespace — no separate top-level.
Existing imports continue to work unchanged once installed:
from parrot.embeddings.huggingface import SentenceTransformerModel # from satellite
from parrot.stores.pgvector import PgVectorStore # from satellite
from parrot.embeddings import EmbeddingRegistry # from core
from parrot.stores import AbstractStore, supported_stores # from core
No code changes are needed in user projects after upgrading from
ai-parrot[embeddings] to ai-parrot-embeddings[...].

Development
git clone https://github.com/phenobarbital/ai-parrot
cd ai-parrot
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -e packages/ai-parrot -e packages/ai-parrot-embeddings
uv run pytest packages/ai-parrot-embeddings/tests/
Or for the full workspace (if no pre-existing dependency conflicts):
uv sync --all-packages
Architecture
This package uses PEP 420 implicit namespace packages (not the
parrot_<name>.* + sys.meta_path redirector pattern used by
ai-parrot-tools, -loaders, -pipelines). The satellite ships no
__init__.py files at parrot/, parrot/embeddings/, parrot/stores/,
or parrot/rerankers/. Python's import machinery merges the satellite's
directory entries with the host's regular packages at import time, because
the host's sub-package __init__.py files call pkgutil.extend_path.
