Question about embeddings usage in MongoDB challenge
Hi,
I'm joining the MongoDB challenge and using Gemini (Vertex AI) for generation. For vector search, I need embeddings, but the public dataset I selected doesn’t include them. Can I use public embedding models (like MiniLM or CLIP from HuggingFace) just to generate the vectors? Or must embeddings also come from Google Cloud?

i don't think we are allowed to use any tools other than google cloud.
The rules explicitly state: "All other artificial intelligence tools are not permitted."

If possible, use Vertex AI's Embedding API. If you can't use it for some reason, a public/open source embedding models will be accepted as well.
