Does Weaviate has its own embedding model which can be used for text and image embedding

As i am trying to use weaviate as vector DB, and I am using weaviate’s community self hosted version, I was reading weaviate has some in-built pre-trained text2vec embeddings available which can work for no cost? or do we have any other vectors available from weaviate which we can use to ensure we can avoid external embedding models

hi @darklord.thevader !!

Yes, you can run your own transformer/embedding models, as described here:

We also provide a docker image that you can run side by side with Weaviate and vectorize your data locally.

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks!
