Use vectara as vector store with OpenAI embeddings?

1

What I want to do is upload a PDF file, split them into chunks, use OpenAI embeddings and then store in Vectara vector store.

I know Vectara has its own embeddings and chunking method, so I do not have to the tasks. But I just want to compare some results. Is this possible?

I remeber reading a document on LangChain JS where it says even if I set to use OpenAI embeddings, Vectara will ignore any other embeddings other than its own.

Hey @Dokim - yes you are correct. Vectara performs its own (optimized) chunking and embedding, so you don’t need to do that outside of Vectara.
