What you're looking at — how AI reads this
An embedding is a numerical fingerprint of meaning. When a chunk of your text is ingested, the AI model converts it into a long list of numbers (typically 384, 768, 1,536, or 3,072 dimensions). Each number is a coordinate in “meaning space” — texts about similar topics end up at similar coordinates.
At query time the AI converts your question into the same kind of vector and uses cosine similarity to find the chunks whose vectors point in the closest direction. The heatmap below shows the first dimensions of this chunk’s vector — blue cells are negative values, red are positive. An L2 Norm near 1.0 is the sanity check that the embedding is real (and not zeros).
