# <span style={{ 'color': 'gray' }}>module</span>  pixeltable.functions.jina

Pixeltable [UDFs](https://docs.pixeltable.com/platform/udfs-in-pixeltable) that wrap [Jina AI](https://jina.ai/) APIs
for embeddings and reranking. In order to use them, the API key must be specified either with `JINA_API_KEY`
environment variable, or as `api_key` in the `jina` section of the Pixeltable config file.

## <span style={{ 'color': 'gray' }}>udf</span>  embeddings()

```python Signature theme={null}
@pxt.udf
embeddings(
    input: pxt.String,
    *,
    model: pxt.String,
    task: pxt.String | None = None,
    dimensions: pxt.Int | None = None,
    late_chunking: pxt.Bool | None = None
) -> pxt.Array[(None,), float32]
```

Creates embedding vectors for the input text using Jina AI embedding models.

Equivalent to the Jina AI embeddings API endpoint.
For additional details, see: [https://jina.ai/embeddings/](https://jina.ai/embeddings/)

Request throttling:
Applies the rate limit set in the config (section `jina`, key `rate_limit`). If no rate
limit is configured, uses a default of 600 RPM.

**Parameters:**

* **`input`** (`pxt.String`): The text to embed.
* **`model`** (`pxt.String`): The Jina embedding model to use. See available models at
  [https://jina.ai/embeddings/](https://jina.ai/embeddings/).
* **`task`** (`pxt.String | None`): Task-specific embedding optimization. Options:
  * `retrieval.query`: For search queries
  * `retrieval.passage`: For documents/passages to be searched
  * `separation`: For clustering/separation tasks
  * `classification`: For classification tasks
  * `text-matching`: For semantic similarity
* **`dimensions`** (`pxt.Int | None`): Output embedding dimensions (optional). If not specified, uses
  the model's default dimension.
* **`late_chunking`** (`pxt.Bool | None`): Enable late chunking for long documents.

**Returns:**

* `pxt.Array[(None,), float32]`: An array representing the embedding of `input`.

**Examples:**

Add a computed column that applies jina-embeddings-v3 to an existing column:

```python  theme={null}
tbl.add_computed_column(
    embed=jina.embeddings(
        tbl.text, model='jina-embeddings-v3', task='retrieval.passage'
    )
)
```

Add an embedding index:

```python  theme={null}
tbl.add_embedding_index(
    'text', string_embed=jina.embeddings.using(model='jina-embeddings-v3')
)
```

## <span style={{ 'color': 'gray' }}>udf</span>  rerank()

```python Signature theme={null}
@pxt.udf
rerank(
    query: pxt.String,
    documents: pxt.Json[(String, *, model: pxt.String, top_n: pxt.Int | None = None, return_documents: pxt.Bool | None = None
) -> pxt.Json
```

Reranks documents based on their relevance to a query using Jina AI reranker models.

Equivalent to the Jina AI rerank API endpoint.
For additional details, see: [https://jina.ai/reranker/](https://jina.ai/reranker/)

Request throttling:
Applies the rate limit set in the config (section `jina`, key `rate_limit`). If no rate
limit is configured, uses a default of 600 RPM.

**Parameters:**

* **`query`** (`pxt.String`): The query string to rank documents against.
* **`documents`** (`pxt.Json[(String`): The list of documents to rerank.
* **`model`** (`Any`): The Jina reranker model to use. See available models at
  [https://jina.ai/reranker/](https://jina.ai/reranker/).
* **`top_n`** (`Any`): Number of top results to return. If not specified, returns all documents.
* **`return_documents`** (`Any`): Whether to include the original document text in results.

**Returns:**

* `pxt.Json`: A dictionary containing:

  * `results`: List of reranking results with `index` and `relevance_score`
    (and `document` if `return_documents=True`)
  * `usage`: Token usage information

**Examples:**

Rerank search results for better relevance:

```python  theme={null}
tbl.add_computed_column(
    reranked=jina.rerank(
        tbl.query,
        tbl.candidate_docs,
        model='jina-reranker-v2-base-multilingual',
        top_n=5,
    )
)
```
