## Why are these changes needed? This PR adds support for configurable embedding functions in ChromaDBVectorMemory, addressing the need for users to customize how embeddings are generated for vector similarity search. Currently, ChromaDB memory is limited to default embedding functions, which restricts flexibility for different use cases that may require specific embedding models or custom embedding logic. The implementation allows users to: - Use different SentenceTransformer models for domain-specific embeddings - Integrate with OpenAI's embedding API for consistent embedding generation - Define custom embedding functions for specialized requirements - Maintain backward compatibility with existing default behavior ## Related issue number Closes #6267 ## Checks - [x] I've included any doc changes needed for <https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/>. See <https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md> to build and test documentation locally. - [x] I've added tests corresponding to the changes introduced in this PR. - [x] I've made sure all auto checks have passed. --------- Co-authored-by: Victor Dibia <victordibia@microsoft.com> Co-authored-by: Victor Dibia <victor.dibia@gmail.com>
Building the AutoGen Documentation
AutoGen documentation is based on the sphinx documentation system and uses the myst-parser to render markdown files. It uses the pydata-sphinx-theme to style the documentation.
Prerequisites
Ensure you have all of the dev dependencies for the autogen-core
package installed. You can install them by running the following command from the root of the python repository:
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate
Building Docs
To build the documentation, run the following command from the root of the python repository:
poe --directory ./packages/autogen-core/ docs-build
To serve the documentation locally, run the following command from the root of the python repository:
poe --directory ./packages/autogen-core/ docs-serve
[!NOTE]
Sphinx will only rebuild files that have changed since the last build. If you want to force a full rebuild, you can delete the ./packages/autogen-core/docs/build
directory before running the docs-build
command.
Versioning the Documentation
The current theme - pydata-sphinx-theme - supports switching between versions of the documentation.
To version the documentation, you need to create a new version of the documentation by copying the existing documentation to a new directory with the version number. For example, to create a new version of the documentation for version 0.1.0
, you would run the following command:
How are various versions built? - TBD.
