Go client doesn't allow embedding response to be base64 encoded string

[aliok]

Similar to https://github.com/openai/openai-openapi/issues/424

The embedding field of the Embedding object will be a string, if encoding_format is set to base64.

E.g.

curl -v https://api.openai.com/v1/embeddings \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"input": "The food was delicious",
"model": "text-embedding-3-small",
"encoding_format": "base64",
"dimensions":10
}'

{
  "object": "list",
  "data": [
    {
      "object": "embedding",
      "index": 0,
      "embedding": "nMcovm6gOb7ldwO/AESlvk0Avz2nZIq+3c+EvZvdFT9HsZa9oSy+vg=="    <------ THIS
    }
  ],
  "model": "text-embedding-3-small",
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 4,
    "total_tokens": 4
  }
}

However, the client mandates that the embedding field is an array of floats.

It's interesting that it's not in the OpenAPI specification, I'll get back to you on that.

In the meantime, the base64 encoded embedding is accessible via the .JSON metadata field

resp, _ := client.Embeddings.New(ctx, openai.EmbeddingNewParams{
	Model: openai.EmbeddingModelTextEmbedding3Small,
	Input: openai.EmbeddingNewParamsInputUnion{
		OfString: openai.String(question),
	},
	EncodingFormat: openai.EmbeddingNewParamsEncodingFormatBase64,
})

var b64embedding string
json.Unmarshal([]byte(resp.Data[0].JSON.Embedding.Raw()), &b64embedding)
println(b64embedding)
