# Activate the third-party embedding model {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Activate your preferred embedding model so that your AI Search RAG application knows which model to use for generating embeddings.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to All and then enter <kbd class="ph userinput">ais_semantic_embedding_model.list</kbd> in the filter.
2. Select an embedding model from the list of AI Search Semantic Embedding Models.  
   The selected AI Search Semantic Embedding Model page opens.
3. Select the Active option to turn on the embedding model.
4. Select Update.
5. **Optional:** Select the Validate button to run a quick check if everything is setup correctly.  
   Note:  
   You must validate the embedding model if you make any changes to its configuration.

## Result

The preferred embedding model ready to use in the AI Search RAG application.

## What to do next

Add your embedding model to the semantic index configuration to enable content ingestion using that model. For more information, see [Configure semantic indexing settings for an indexed source](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/FCz4vqBVFx_rBmrku4r_XQ "Specify the semantic indexing configuration settings you want to apply when AI Search indexes records from your indexed sources.").
