VoyageDocumentEmbedder

Compute document embeddings using Voyage AI embedding models.

Basic Information

  • Type: haystack_integrations.components.embedders.voyage_embedders.voyage_document_embedder.VoyageDocumentEmbedder
  • Components it can connect with:
    • DocumentWriter: VoyageDocumentEmbedder can send documents with embeddings to DocumentWriter to write them into a document store.
    • DocumentJoiner: VoyageDocumentEmbedder can send embedded documents to a joiner.

Inputs

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
documentsList[Document]A list of documents to embed.

Outputs

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
documentsList[Document]Documents with embeddings stored in the embedding field.
metaDict[str, Any]Metadata about the embedding operation.

Overview

Use VoyageDocumentEmbedder to create embeddings for documents using Voyage AI models. This component is typically used in indexes to embed documents before storing them in a vector database.

The embedding of each document is stored in the embedding field of the Document object.

Authorization

You need a Voyage AI API key to use this component. Connect deepset to your Voyage AI account on the Integrations page. For detailed instructions, see Use Voyage AI Models.

Parameters

Init Parameters

These are the parameters you can configure in Pipeline Builder:

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
api_keySecretSecret.from_env_var('VOYAGE_API_KEY')The Voyage AI API key. It can be explicitly provided or automatically read from the environment variable VOYAGE_API_KEY.
modelstrvoyage-3The name of the Voyage model to use. See the Voyage Embeddings documentation for available models.
input_typeOptional[str]NoneType of the input text. Set to "document" for indexing documents or "query" for search queries. When set, prepends an appropriate prompt to the text.
truncateboolTrueWhether to truncate the input text to fit within the context length. If False, an error is raised when the text exceeds the context length.
prefixstr""A string to add to the beginning of each text.
suffixstr""A string to add to the end of each text.
output_dimensionOptional[int]NoneThe dimension of the output embedding. Only supported by voyage-3-large and voyage-code-3 models.
output_dtypestrfloatThe data type for the embeddings. Options: "float", "int8", "uint8", "binary", "ubinary".
batch_sizeint32Number of documents to encode at once.
metadata_fields_to_embedOptional[List[str]]NoneList of metadata fields to embed along with the document content.
embedding_separatorstr"\n"Separator used to concatenate metadata fields to the document content.
progress_barboolTrueWhether to show a progress bar during processing.
timeoutOptional[int]NoneTimeout for Voyage AI client calls. If not set, it is inferred from the VOYAGE_TIMEOUT environment variable or set to 30.
max_retriesOptional[int]NoneMaximum retries if Voyage AI returns an internal error. If not set, it is inferred from the VOYAGE_MAX_RETRIES environment variable or set to five.

Run Method Parameters

These are the parameters you can configure for the component's run() method. You can pass these parameters at query time through the API, in Playground, or when running a job.

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
documentsList[Document]A list of documents to embed.
