The community member is using llama_index.embeddings.huggingface and is wondering what the max_length parameter does, as it does not seem to change the embedding dimension. Another community member suggests that this parameter might be unused since the library has switched to using sentence transformers under the hood. There is no explicitly marked answer to the original question.
I'm using llama_index.embeddings.huggingface and when using parameter max_length it seems to do nothing. The embedding dimension do not change. What's max_length parameter really do?
