Embedding Providers

Ollama (default)

{ "embedding": { "provider": "ollama", "model": "nomic-embed-text", "dimensions": 768 } }

Local (sentence-transformers, no network)

uv sync --extra local

{ "embedding": { "provider": "local" } }

OpenAI-compat (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Cohere compat, etc.)

OpenRouter:

{
  "embedding": {
    "provider": "compat",
    "api_type": "openrouter",
    "api_endpoint": "https://openrouter.ai/api/v1",
    "model": "openai/text-embedding-3-small",
    "dimensions": 1536
  }
}

Cohere via OpenAI compat API:

{
  "embedding": {
    "provider": "compat",
    "api_type": "cohere",
    "api_endpoint": "https://api.cohere.com/compatibility/v1",
    "model": "embed-english-light-v3.0",
    "dimensions": 384
  }
}

Set REMEMBLE_EMBEDDING__API_KEY or OPENROUTER_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY env var.
