# Create a custom embedding model

# Create a custom embedding model {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Create your custom embedding model in the Generative AI Model Configuration table so that your AI Search RAG application can use it to generate embeddings for semantic indexing. This setup ensures the model is recognized and properly connected to send and receive requests.

## Before you begin

You must create a connection and credential alias for your embedding model. For more information, see [Create a Connection \& Credential alias](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=connection-alias&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US)

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to All, and then enter <kbd class="ph userinput">sys_generative_ai_model_config.list</kbd> in the filter to go to the Generative AI Model Configuration \[sys_generative_ai_model_config\] table.
2. Select New.
3. On the form, fill in the fields.
