Why am I getting 'No attribute Embedding' error with OpenAI API?

I’m having trouble with the OpenAI API. I’m trying to use the Embedding feature, but I keep getting an error. Here’s what I’m doing:

import openai
result = openai.TextVector.generate(
  text="Hello world",
  engine="text-vector-latest"
)

But I get this error:

AttributeError: module 'openai' has no attribute 'TextVector'

I’ve updated the openai library, but it didn’t help. Other features like Completion work fine. I’ve looked online and tried some suggestions, but nothing’s worked so far.

Has anyone else run into this? How did you fix it? I really need to use the latest text vector model. Even a workaround would be helpful at this point.

I’m using Jupyter Notebook, if that matters. Thanks for any help!

hey there! i ran into this too. the api changed recently. try using openai.Embedding.create() instead of TextVector. something like:

openai.Embedding.create(input="Hello world", model="text-embedding-ada-002")

that should work. let me know if u still have issues!

I’ve been using the OpenAI API for a while now, and I can confirm that the embedding functionality has indeed changed. The error you’re seeing is because the ‘TextVector’ class no longer exists in the current API version.

To fix this, you need to use the ‘Embedding’ class instead. Here’s what worked for me:

import openai

response = openai.Embedding.create(
    input="Hello world",
    model="text-embedding-ada-002"
)

embedding = response['data'][0]['embedding']

This will give you the embedding vector for your input text. Make sure you’re using the latest OpenAI Python package (you can upgrade with ‘pip install --upgrade openai’).

Also, don’t forget to set your API key before making the call:

openai.api_key = 'your-api-key-here'

Hope this helps solve your issue!

I encountered a similar issue recently. The problem lies in the API method you’re using. OpenAI has updated their embedding API, and the correct method is now ‘Embedding.create()’. Here’s the corrected code:

response = openai.Embedding.create(
    input="Hello world",
    model="text-embedding-ada-002"
)

This should resolve your error. Make sure you’re using the latest version of the OpenAI Python library. If you continue to experience issues, double-check your API key and ensure it has the necessary permissions for embeddings. Also, note that the model name has changed to ‘text-embedding-ada-002’ for the most recent text embedding model.
