Grepai Embeddings Openai

Configures OpenAI's embedding API as your GrepAI provider when you want high-quality semantic search without running local models. You get text-embedding-3-small (recommended, $0.00002/1K tokens) or text-embedding-3-large for maximum accuracy at higher cost. The tradeoff is straightforward: your code gets sent to OpenAI servers, so this isn't for sensitive codebases. Setup is just adding your API key to the config and setting parallelism based on your rate limit tier. Good for teams that want consistent embeddings without maintaining infrastructure, and the cost is genuinely low for most codebases (around $0.10 to index 1000 files). If privacy matters more than convenience, stick with Ollama instead.

GrepAI Embeddings with OpenAI

This skill covers using OpenAI's embedding API with GrepAI for high-quality, cloud-based embeddings.

When to Use This Skill

Need highest quality embeddings
Team environment with shared infrastructure
Don't want to manage local embedding server
Willing to trade privacy for quality/convenience

Considerations

Aspect	Details
✅ Quality	State-of-the-art embeddings
✅ Speed	Fast, no local compute needed
✅ Scalability	Handles any codebase size
⚠️ Privacy	Code sent to OpenAI servers
⚠️ Cost	Pay per token
⚠️ Internet	Requires connection

Prerequisites

OpenAI API key
Billing enabled on OpenAI account

Get your API key at: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys

Configuration

Basic Configuration

# .grepai/config.yaml
embedder:
  provider: openai
  model: text-embedding-3-small

Set the environment variable:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

With no api_key and no endpoint, grepai uses the official endpoint (https://api.openai.com/v1) and reads OPENAI_API_KEY from the environment.
