class OpenAIDenseEmbedding(OpenAIFunctionBase, DenseEmbeddingFunction[TEXT]):
"""Dense text embedding function using OpenAI API.
This class provides text-to-vector embedding capabilities using OpenAI's
embedding models. It inherits from ``DenseEmbeddingFunction`` and implements
dense text embedding via the OpenAI API.
The implementation supports various OpenAI embedding models with different
dimensions and includes automatic result caching for improved performance.
Args:
model (str, optional): OpenAI embedding model identifier.
Defaults to ``"text-embedding-3-small"``. Common options:
- ``"text-embedding-3-small"``: 1536 dims, cost-efficient, good performance
- ``"text-embedding-3-large"``: 3072 dims, highest quality
- ``"text-embedding-ada-002"``: 1536 dims, legacy model
dimension (Optional[int], optional): Desired output embedding dimension.
If ``None``, uses model's default dimension. For text-embedding-3 models,
you can specify custom dimensions (e.g., 256, 512, 1024, 1536).
Defaults to ``None``.
api_key (Optional[str], optional): OpenAI API authentication key.
If ``None``, reads from ``OPENAI_API_KEY`` environment variable.
Obtain your key from: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
base_url (Optional[str], optional): Custom API base URL for OpenAI-compatible
services. Defaults to ``None`` (uses official OpenAI endpoint).
Attributes:
dimension (int): The embedding vector dimension.
data_type (DataType): Always ``DataType.VECTOR_FP32`` for this implementation.
model (str): The OpenAI model name being used.
Raises:
ValueError: If API key is not provided and not found in environment,
or if API returns an error response.
TypeError: If input to ``embed()`` is not a string.
RuntimeError: If network error or OpenAI service error occurs.
Note:
- Requires Python 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12
- Requires the ``openai`` package: ``pip install openai``
- Embedding results are cached (LRU cache, maxsize=10) to reduce API calls
- Network connectivity to OpenAI API endpoints is required
- API usage incurs costs based on your OpenAI subscription plan
- Rate limits apply based on your OpenAI account tier
Examples:
>>> # Basic usage with default model
>>> from zvec.extension import OpenAIDenseEmbedding
>>> import os
>>> os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-..."
>>>
>>> emb_func = OpenAIDenseEmbedding()
>>> vector = emb_func.embed("Hello, world!")
>>> len(vector)
1536
>>> # Using specific model with custom dimension
>>> emb_func = OpenAIDenseEmbedding(
... model="text-embedding-3-large",
... dimension=1024,
... api_key="sk-..."
... )
>>> vector = emb_func.embed("Machine learning is fascinating")
>>> len(vector)
1024
>>> # Using with custom base URL (e.g., Azure OpenAI)
>>> emb_func = OpenAIDenseEmbedding(
... model="text-embedding-ada-002",
... api_key="your-azure-key",
... base_url="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/"
... )
>>> vector = emb_func("Natural language processing")
>>> isinstance(vector, list)
True
>>> # Batch processing with caching benefit
>>> texts = ["First text", "Second text", "First text"]
>>> vectors = [emb_func.embed(text) for text in texts]
>>> # Third call uses cached result for "First text"
>>> # Error handling
>>> try:
... emb_func.embed("") # Empty string
... except ValueError as e:
... print(f"Error: {e}")
Error: Input text cannot be empty or whitespace only
