How It Works
AI Search employs Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) to create efficient embeddings for images and text. When a query is made, the system checks if the embedding model supports images; if so, it embeds the image directly.
For text-only models, the image is converted to a caption before searching. This dual approach allows for richer search results, capturing both visual details and textual context.
