Turns text into a fixed-length vector for semantic search, RAG, clustering, and dedupe. Call it on /v1/embeddings with a string or array of inputs — no chat, tools, or reasoning.

Behind the endpoint[02/03]

One endpoint. Served by our engine.

text-embedding-3-small is served through the Layer X1 engine — zero-downtime serving is the design target, not a status-page apology. You request it by name; everything else is our problem.

Call it by name

curl https://api.layerx1.in/v1/embeddings \
  -H "authorization: Bearer lx1_your_key" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "lx1-embed-3-small",
    "input": "text to embed"
  }'

OpenAI-style clients work too — POST the same model name to /v1/embeddings with a Bearer key. See the docs for both dialects.
