🔧 Installation

npm install @soulcraft/brainy-models

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
• @soulcraft/brainy >= 0.33.0

🏁 Quick Start

Basic Usage

import { BundledUniversalSentenceEncoder } from '@soulcraft/brainy-models'

// Create encoder instance
const encoder = new BundledUniversalSentenceEncoder({
  verbose: true,
  preferCompressed: false
})

// Load the bundled model
await encoder.load()

// Generate embeddings
const texts = ['Hello world', 'How are you?', 'Machine learning is amazing']
const embeddings = await encoder.embedToArrays(texts)

console.log(`Generated ${embeddings.length} embeddings of ${embeddings[0].length} dimensions`)

// Clean up
encoder.dispose()

Integration with Brainy

import Brainy from '@soulcraft/brainy'
import { BundledUniversalSentenceEncoder } from '@soulcraft/brainy-models'

// Create bundled encoder
const bundledEncoder = new BundledUniversalSentenceEncoder({ verbose: true })
await bundledEncoder.load()

// Use with Brainy (custom integration)
const brainy = new Brainy({
  // Configure Brainy to use the bundled encoder
  customEmbedding: async (texts) => {
    return await bundledEncoder.embedToArrays(texts)
  }
})

Using Compressed Models

import { BundledUniversalSentenceEncoder } from '@soulcraft/brainy-models'

// Use compressed model for memory-constrained environments
const encoder = new BundledUniversalSentenceEncoder({
  preferCompressed: true,
  verbose: true
})

await encoder.load()

// The encoder will automatically use the most appropriate compressed variant
const embeddings = await encoder.embedToArrays(['Sample text'])

📚 API Reference

BundledUniversalSentenceEncoder

Main class for loading and using bundled models.

Constructor

new BundledUniversalSentenceEncoder(options)

Options:

• verbose?: boolean - Enable detailed logging (default: false)
• preferCompressed?: boolean - Prefer compressed model variants (default: false)

Methods

load(): Promise<void>

Load the bundled model from local files.

await encoder.load()

embed(texts: string[]): Promise<tf.Tensor2D>

Generate embeddings as TensorFlow tensors.

const embeddings = await encoder.embed(['Hello world'])
// Remember to dispose of tensors when done
embeddings.dispose()

embedToArrays(texts: string[]): Promise<number[][]>

Generate embeddings as JavaScript arrays (automatically disposes tensors).

const embeddings = await encoder.embedToArrays(['Hello world'])
console.log(embeddings[0].length) // 512

getMetadata(): ModelMetadata | null

Get model metadata information.

const metadata = encoder.getMetadata()
console.log(metadata?.dimensions) // 512

isLoaded(): boolean

Check if the model is loaded.

if (encoder.isLoaded()) {
  // Model is ready to use
}

getModelInfo(): { inputShape: number[], outputShape: number[] } | null

Get model input/output shape information.

const info = encoder.getModelInfo()
console.log(info?.outputShape) // [-1, 512]

dispose(): void

Clean up model resources.

encoder.dispose()

ModelCompressor

Utility class for model compression and optimization.

Static Methods

quantizeModel(modelPath: string, outputPath: string, options?): Promise<void>

Compress a model using quantization.

import { ModelCompressor } from '@soulcraft/brainy-models'

await ModelCompressor.quantizeModel(
  '/path/to/model.json',
  '/path/to/compressed/model.json',
  { dtype: 'int8' }
)

getModelSize(modelPath: string): Promise<ModelSizeInfo>

Get detailed model size information.

const sizeInfo = await ModelCompressor.getModelSize('/path/to/model.json')
console.log(`Total size: ${sizeInfo.totalSize} bytes`)

Utility Functions

utils.checkModelsAvailable(): boolean

Check if bundled models are available.

import { utils } from '@soulcraft/brainy-models'

if (utils.checkModelsAvailable()) {
  console.log('Models are ready to use')
}

utils.listAvailableModels(): string[]

List available bundled models.

const models = utils.listAvailableModels()
console.log('Available models:', models)

⚖️ Comparison with Online Loading

Feature	Online Loading	Bundled Models
Reliability	Network dependent	100% offline
First load time	30-60 seconds	< 1 second
Subsequent loads	Cached (~1 second)	< 1 second
Package size	~3KB	~25MB
Network required	Yes (first time)	No
Offline support	Limited	Complete

💡 Use Cases

When to Use Bundled Models

• ✅ Production applications requiring maximum reliability
• ✅ Offline or air-gapped environments
• ✅ Applications with strict SLA requirements
• ✅ Edge computing and IoT devices
• ✅ Development environments with unreliable internet

When to Use Online Loading

• ✅ Development and prototyping
• ✅ Applications where package size matters
• ✅ Environments with reliable internet connectivity
• ✅ Applications that rarely use embeddings

🔧 Troubleshooting

Model Not Found Error

Error: Bundled model not found. Please run "npm run download-models"

Solution: Run the download script to fetch the model files:

cd node_modules/@soulcraft/brainy-models
npm run download-models

Memory Issues

If you encounter memory issues, try using compressed models:

const encoder = new BundledUniversalSentenceEncoder({
  preferCompressed: true
})

Performance Optimization

For optimal performance:

1. Memory-constrained: Use int8 quantized models
2. Speed-critical: Use original float32 models
3. Balanced: Use float16 compressed models
