Hey @Grandma_Kisses – cool name 😉

At this time the Weaviate Cloud Service only supports 3rd-party modules, such as OpenAI, Cohere, Huggingface, etc. It does not currently support any modules where the model inference happens locally. This might change in the future, but there are no concrete plans right now.

Hey thanks for the answer. I guess for anyone viewing in the future it make sense to vectorize in the backend then upload it to weaviate

Hi @Grandma_Kisses - yeah if the pre-set modules don’t work for you then this is the way.
