I could have sworn that the embed_model, which defaults to openai, is used to embed your data before inserting in chroma 🤔

sorry I was using a custom embed model from langchain which shouldnt use openai

im also happy to provide a key I just want to double check that it is not spending money during the building process

ah gotcha, then yea it shouldn't be using openai to build! Just when initializing the LLM, it tries to validate the key I think. But the LLM is used at query time

okay thank you so much and i just want to double check i can switch the llm as in previous threads after the build

LLogan M

yup exactly! Only the embed model has to remain constant 👍
