https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/llama_embeddings_fastapi_service

Summary: GitHub user Dicklesworthstone has developed a FastAPI service called Llama2 Embeddings, designed to optimize the process of obtaining text embeddings using different LLMs via llama_cpp and langchain. The service caches embeddings in SQLite, supports parallel inference, and offers advanced similarity measurements and retrieval. Additionally, it provides token-level embeddings and combined feature vectors, allowing comparison of unequal length strings. The service can be configured using environment variables and input parameters and features robust exception handling and comprehensive logging.
