docs: create guide to choose Embedders

Open anakin87 opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

We have several Embedders on Haystack 2.0

  • API based: OpenAI, Cohere, Jina...
  • Sentence Transformers
  • HF Text Embedding Inference
  • Fastembed
  • HF Optimum

Some focus on simplicity, others on supporting a wide range of models, and still others on performance on different architectures.

I think it would benefit users to have a guide, as we did for Generators: this is not something that guides to choosing the best model, but an acceptable Embedder based on one's needs/resources.
