Skylark Embedding Vision API pricing

Live pay-as-you-go rates from the EmpirioLabs catalog. You are billed only for what you use, with no monthly minimum.

How to call the Skylark Embedding Vision API

Skylark Embedding Vision serves the OpenAI-compatible Embeddings API. Point any OpenAI SDK at https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1 and use the model id skylark-embedding-vision. Get an API key from the EmpirioLabs dashboard.

curl https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1/embeddings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EMPIRIOLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "skylark-embedding-vision",
    "input": "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
  }'

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_EMPIRIOLABS_API_KEY",
)

embedding = client.embeddings.create(
    model="skylark-embedding-vision",
    input="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.",
)
print(embedding.data[0].embedding[:8])

Request parameters supported by the Skylark Embedding Vision API on EmpirioLabs. Defaults apply when a field is omitted.

Good to know

Output

• One fused vector per request across all input items (text, image, and video combine into a single embedding). Choose 1024 or 2048 dimensions.
• An array of plain strings returns one embedding per string, up to 16 per request.

Per-input limits

• Text: up to 8,000 tokens per item.
• Image: JPEG, PNG, WEBP, BMP, or TIFF, sides over 14 px, up to 36MP.
• Video: MP4, AVI, or MOV, up to 50 MB; audio tracks are ignored.

Retrieval

• An optional instructions field conditions the embedding for the query or corpus side. Apply L2 normalization before cosine or dot-product comparison.
