Add a new
FastEmbedVectoriserto ClassifAI as a lightweight local embedding backend that avoidstorchandtransformersat runtime, alongside the newfastembedoptional dependency group, tests, and documentation updates.I have run a manual check in
general_workflow_demo.ipynbwithFastEmbedVectoriserand it runs end to end.I haven't done a performance benchmark, however happy to do so with guidance on how this is done for
classifai.I have not included the model caching or normalisation logic in
survey-assist-embed-coreto remain consistent with other implementations ofVectoriserBase.📜 Changes Introduced
