title: Nomic Embedding
 | Developer Documentation
---

Nomic has released v1.5 🪆🪆🪆 is capable of variable sized embeddings with matryoshka learning and an 8192 context, embedding dimensions between 64 and 768.

In this notebook, we will explore using Nomic v1.5 embedding at different dimensions.

### Installation

```
%pip install -U llama-index llama-index-embeddings-nomic
```

### Setup API Keys

```
nomic_api_key = "<NOMIC API KEY>"
```

```
import nest_asyncio


nest_asyncio.apply()


from llama_index.embeddings.nomic import NomicEmbedding
```

#### With dimension at 128

```
embed_model = NomicEmbedding(
    api_key=nomic_api_key,
    dimensionality=128,
    model_name="nomic-embed-text-v1.5",
)


embedding = embed_model.get_text_embedding("Nomic Embeddings")
```

```
print(len(embedding))
```

```
128
```

```
embedding[:5]
```

```
[0.05569458, 0.057922363, -0.30126953, -0.09832764, 0.05947876]
```

#### With dimension at 256

```
embed_model = NomicEmbedding(
    api_key=nomic_api_key,
    dimensionality=256,
    model_name="nomic-embed-text-v1.5",
)


embedding = embed_model.get_text_embedding("Nomic Embeddings")
```

```
print(len(embedding))
```

```
256
```

```
embedding[:5]
```

```
[0.044708252, 0.04650879, -0.24182129, -0.07897949, 0.04776001]
```

#### With dimension at 768

```
embed_model = NomicEmbedding(
    api_key=nomic_api_key,
    dimensionality=768,
    model_name="nomic-embed-text-v1.5",
)


embedding = embed_model.get_text_embedding("Nomic Embeddings")
```

```
print(len(embedding))
```

```
768
```

```
embedding[:5]
```

```
[0.027282715, 0.028381348, -0.14758301, -0.048187256, 0.029144287]
```

#### You can still use v1 Nomic Embeddings

It has 768 fixed embedding dimensions

```
embed_model = NomicEmbedding(
    api_key=nomic_api_key, model_name="nomic-embed-text-v1"
)


embedding = embed_model.get_text_embedding("Nomic Embeddings")
```

```
print(len(embedding))
```

```
768
```

```
embedding[:5]
```

```
[0.0059013367, 0.03744507, 0.0035305023, -0.047180176, 0.0154418945]
```

### Let’s Build end to end RAG pipeline with Nomic v1.5 Embedding.

We will use OpenAI for Generation step.

#### Set Embedding model and llm.

```
from llama_index.core import settings
from llama_index.core import VectorStoreIndex, SimpleDirectoryReader
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI


import os


os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "<YOUR OPENAI API KEY>"


embed_model = NomicEmbedding(
    api_key=nomic_api_key,
    dimensionality=128,
    model_name="nomic-embed-text-v1.5",
)


llm = OpenAI(model="gpt-3.5-turbo")


settings.llm = llm
settings.embed_model = embed_model
```

#### Load data

```
documents = SimpleDirectoryReader("./data/paul_graham").load_data()
```

#### Index creation

```
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_documents(documents)
```

#### Query Engine

```
query_engine = index.as_query_engine()
```

```
response = query_engine.query("what did author do growing up?")
print(response)
```

```
The author, growing up, worked on writing and programming. They wrote short stories and also tried writing programs on an IBM 1401 computer. Later, they got a microcomputer and started programming more extensively, writing simple games and a word processor.
