How to create embeddings with jina-embeddings-v2-base-en

There are two primary ways to use the jina-embeddings-v2-base-en model to generate vector embeddings:

PyMilvus: the Python SDK for Milvus that seamlessly integrates the jina-embeddings-v2-base-en model.
SentenceTransformer library: the python library sentence-transformer.

Generate vector embeddings via PyMilvus and insert them into Zilliz Cloud for semantic search

from pymilvus.model.dense import SentenceTransformerEmbeddingFunction
from pymilvus import MilvusClient

ef = SentenceTransformerEmbeddingFunction("jinaai/jina-embeddings-v2-base-en", trust_remote_code=True)

docs = [
   "Artificial intelligence was founded as an academic discipline in 1956.",
   "Alan Turing was the first person to conduct substantial research in AI.",
   "Born in Maida Vale, London, Turing was raised in southern England."
]
# Generate embeddings for documents
docs_embeddings = ef(docs)

queries = ["When was artificial intelligence founded",
          "Where was Alan Turing born?"]
# Generate embeddings for queries
query_embeddings = ef(queries)

# Connect to Zilliz Cloud with Public Endpoint and API Key
client = MilvusClient(
    uri=ZILLIZ_PUBLIC_ENDPOINT,
    token=ZILLIZ_API_KEY)

COLLECTION = "documents"
if client.has_collection(collection_name=COLLECTION):
    client.drop_collection(collection_name=COLLECTION)
client.create_collection(
    collection_name=COLLECTION,
    dimension=ef.dim,
    auto_id=True)

for doc, embedding in zip(docs, docs_embeddings):
    client.insert(COLLECTION, {"text": doc, "vector": embedding})
    
results = client.search(
    collection_name=COLLECTION,
    data=query_embeddings,
    consistency_level="Strong", 
    output_fields=["text"])
