If you’re opening this Notebook on colab, you will probably need to install LlamaIndex 🦙.

```
%pip install llama-index-embeddings-ollama
```

```
from llama_index.embeddings.ollama import OllamaEmbedding


ollama_embedding = OllamaEmbedding(
    model_name="embeddinggemma",
    base_url="http://localhost:11434",
    # Can optionally pass additional kwargs to ollama
    # ollama_additional_kwargs={"mirostat": 0},
)
```

You can generate embeddings using one of several methods:

- `get_text_embedding_batch`
- `get_text_embedding`
- `get_query_embedding`

As well as async versions:

- `aget_text_embedding_batch`
- `aget_text_embedding`
- `aget_query_embedding`

```
embeddings = ollama_embedding.get_text_embedding_batch(
    ["This is a passage!", "This is another passage"], show_progress=True
)
print(f"Got vectors of length {len(embeddings[0])}")
print(embeddings[0][:10])
```

```
