+#### Input
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
+| `input` | string | Yes | Text to embed, or an array of texts to embed in one call |
+| `model` | string | No | Embedding model to use |
+| `taskType` | string | No | What the embedding is for, when the model supports task conditioning: document, query, similarity, classification, or clustering |
+| `dimensions` | number | No | Output dimensions, when the model supports truncation. Defaults to native. |
