Quick Start

CrispEmbed

./crispembed -m gte-small "Hello world"
./crispembed-server -m gte-small --port 8080

Ollama (with CrispStrobe fork)

# Create model
echo "FROM gte-small-q8_0.gguf" > Modelfile
ollama create gte-small -f Modelfile

# Embed
curl http://localhost:11434/api/embed -d '{"model":"gte-small","input":["Hello world"]}'

Python (CrispEmbed)

from crispembed import CrispEmbed
model = CrispEmbed("gte-small-q8_0.gguf")
vectors = model.encode(["Hello world", "Goodbye world"])
