Dear Diary uses FastEmbed for local embedding generation. The default model is
sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2, which provides a good balance of
quality and performance.
Model download
On first use, the embedding model is downloaded automatically to a local cache. This may take a few moments depending on network speed.
Alternative models
Configure a different model via the EMBEDDING_MODEL environment variable.
Consult the FastEmbed documentation for
available models.
