This will help you get started with ByteDanceDoubao embedding models using LangChain. For detailed documentation on ByteDanceDoubaoEmbeddings features and configuration options, please refer to the API reference.

Overview

Integration details

ClassPackageLocalPy supportDownloadsVersion
ByteDanceDoubaoEmbeddings@langchain/community❌❌NPM - DownloadsNPM - Version

​
Setup

You’ll need to sign up for an ARK API key and set it as an environment variable named ARK_API_KEY. Then you should create a entrypoint for embedding models, and use the entrypoint’s name as model. Then, you’ll need to install the @langchain/community package

​
Credentials

If you want to get automated tracing of your model calls you can also set your LangSmith API key by uncommenting below: 
# export LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2="true"
# export LANGCHAIN_API_KEY="your-api-key"

​
Installation

The LangChain ByteDanceDoubaoEmbeddings integration lives in the @langchain/community package: 
npm install @langchain/community

​
Instantiation

Now we can instantiate our model object and embed text: 
import { ByteDanceDoubaoEmbeddings } from "@langchain/community/embeddings/bytedance_doubao";

const embeddings = new ByteDanceDoubaoEmbeddings({
  model: 'ep-xxx-xxx' // your entrypoint's name
});

​
Indexing and Retrieval

Embedding models are often used in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) flows, both as part of indexing data as well as later retrieving it. For more detailed instructions, please see our RAG tutorials under the Learn tab. Below, see how to index and retrieve data using the embeddings object we initialized above. In this example, we will index and retrieve a sample document using the demo MemoryVectorStore. 
// Create a vector store with a sample text
import { MemoryVectorStore } from "@langchain/classic/vectorstores/memory";

const text = "LangChain is the framework for building context-aware reasoning applications";

const vectorstore = await MemoryVectorStore.fromDocuments(
  [{ pageContent: text, metadata: {} }],
  embeddings,
);

// Use the vector store as a retriever that returns a single document
const retriever = vectorstore.asRetriever(1);

// Retrieve the most similar text
const retrievedDocuments = await retriever.invoke("What is LangChain?");

retrievedDocuments[0].pageContent;

LangChain is the framework for building context-aware reasoning applications

​
Direct Usage

Under the hood, the vectorstore and retriever implementations are calling embeddings.embedDocument(...) and embeddings.embedQuery(...) to create embeddings for the text(s) used in fromDocuments and the retriever’s invoke operations, respectively. You can directly call these methods to get embeddings for your own use cases.

​
Embed single texts

You can embed queries for search with embedQuery. This generates a vector representation specific to the query: 
const singleVector = await embeddings.embedQuery(text);

console.log(singleVector.slice(0, 100));

Embed multiple texts

You can embed multiple texts for indexing with embedDocuments. The internals used for this method may (but do not have to) differ from embedding queries: 
const text2 = "LangGraph is a library for building stateful, multi-actor applications with LLMs";

const vectors = await embeddings.embedDocuments([text, text2]);

console.log(vectors[0].slice(0, 100));
console.log(vectors[1].slice(0, 100));
