Activate a third-party embedding model

Activate your preferred embedding model, whether third-party or custom, so that the AI Search Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) application knows which model to use for generating embeddings.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

Procedure

1. Navigate to All and then enter ais_semantic_embedding_model.list in the filter.
2. Select an embedding model from the list of AI Search Semantic Embedding Models.
3. On the Semantic Embedding Model page, turn on the embedding model by selecting Active.
4. Select Update.
5. Optional: Run a quick check to verify that everything is set up correctly by selecting Validate.
   Note:

   If you make any changes to its configuration, you must validate the embedding model.

Result

Your preferred embedding model, whether third-party or custom, is ready to use in the AI Search Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) application.

What to do next

Add your embedding model to the semantic index configuration to enable content ingestion by using that model. For more information, see Configure semantic indexing settings for an indexed source.
