all-MiniLM-L12-v2 is a fine-tuned model that uses the pretrained microsoft/MiniLM-L12-H384-uncased model under the hood.

This model is 5x faster than all-mpnet-base-v2, while still offering good quality. It comes from the sbert all family of models.

### Using the model

#### Installation:

```python theme={null}
 !pip install -U sentence-transformers pinecone 
```

### Create Index

```python theme={null}

from pinecone import Pinecone, ServerlessSpec

pc = Pinecone(api_key="API_KEY")

# Create Index
index_name = "all-minilm-l12-v2"

if not pc.has_index(index_name):
    pc.create_index(
        name=index_name,
        dimension=384,
        metric="cosine",
        spec=ServerlessSpec(
            cloud='aws',
            region='us-east-1'
        )
    )

index = pc.Index(index_name)

```

### Embed & Upsert

```python theme={null}

from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
import torch
device = 'cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu'

model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L12-v2').to(device)

data = [
    {"id": "vec1", "text": "Apple is a popular fruit known for its sweetness and crisp texture."},
    {"id": "vec2", "text": "The tech company Apple is known for its innovative products like the iPhone."},
    {"id": "vec3", "text": "Many people enjoy eating apples as a healthy snack."},
    {"id": "vec4", "text": "Apple Inc. has revolutionized the tech industry with its sleek designs and user-friendly interfaces."},
    {"id": "vec5", "text": "An apple a day keeps the doctor away, as the saying goes."},
]
sentences = [x["text"] for x in data]
embeddings =  model.encode(sentences)  

vectors = []
for d, e in zip(data, embeddings):
    vectors.append({
        "id": d['id'],
        "values": e,
        "metadata": {'text': d['text']}
    })

index.upsert(
    vectors=vectors,
    namespace="ns1"
)
import time 

```

### Query

```python theme={null}

query = "Tell me about the tech company known as Apple"

query_embedding = model.encode(query).tolist()
print(query_embedding)

results = index.query(
    namespace="ns1",
    vector=query_embedding,
    top_k=3,
    include_values=False,
    include_metadata=True
)

print(results)

```
