+# FastEmbed
+
+[FastEmbed](https://qdrant.github.io/fastembed/) is a lightweight, CPU-first Python library built for embedding generation.
+
+This embedding function requires the `fastembed` package. To install it, run
+
+```pip install fastembed```.
+
+You can find a list of all the supported models [here](https://qdrant.github.io/fastembed/examples/Supported_Models/).
+
+## Example usage:
+
+Using the default BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5 model.
+
+```python
+from chromadb.utils.embedding_functions import FastEmbedEmbeddingFunction
+ef = FastEmbedEmbeddingFunction()
+```
+
+Additionally, you can also configure the cache directory, number of threads and other FastEmbed options.
+
+```python
+from chromadb.utils.embedding_functions import FastEmbedEmbeddingFunction
+ef = FastEmbedEmbeddingFunction(model_name="nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5", cache_dir="models_cache", threads=5)
+```
