hi @Haris_khan_Khakwani !!

Unfortunately, we currently don’t have the option to change huggingface’s baseurl url on run time ☹

Most of other modules, for example, text2vec-cohere do have this option:

> **[Text Embeddings | Weaviate](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/model-providers/cohere/embeddings#runtime-parameters)**
>
> Weaviate's integration with Cohere's APIs allows you to access their models' capabilities directly from Weaviate.

For now, I believe the only option is migrating your data to a new collection with the new endpoint ☹ I know, should be easier 😬

We will work on adding this feature in future releases.

Thanks!
