Vectorizer Modules and Auto-Embedding
Learn how Weaviate's vectorizer modules automatically turn your data objects into vectors at import time, and how to configure them per class and property.
Who Creates the Vectors?
Vector search needs every object to have a vector. You can compute embeddings yourself, or let Weaviate do it via a vectorizer module that embeds objects automatically on import.
What Is a Vectorizer Module?
A vectorizer is a pluggable module (e.g. text2vec-openai, text2vec-cohere, text2vec-huggingface) that Weaviate calls to convert text into vectors. You choose it when defining a class.
