### Description

Hello everyone. Does anyone know how to manage to use custom embedding model from HuggingFace? Moreover, I need to use custom model which is specific for my language and it is not in the default HuggingFace embedding models that are provided by Verba in the begining. So, I would be thankful if someone could explain me how to deploy it, no matter through python or docker

Hi @mil_jov,

Welcome to Weaviate Community!

If I understand your inquiry correctly, you would like to utilize a model from HuggingFace. In that case, you can check out our documentation guide on how to implement [Bring Your Own Vectors](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/starter-guides/custom-vectors) on Weaviate. This would allow to use custom models outside from what is currently supported on Weaviate.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions.

Yes, you understood me but in my case, I want to use custom HuggingFace embedding model in Weaviate Verba so I can easily set up my files and so on

Thanks for clarifying.

I found this related [post](https://forum.weaviate.io/t/using-a-custom-embedder-in-weaviates-verba/1615/2) with regards to custom embeddings in Verba.

Let me know if this works for you.
