How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

I updated to the new version of Anything LLM, and when my application tried to use the API as it always had, I received a 500 error. I am attaching a screenshot of the error within Anything

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

At some point you changed your embedding model and it did not clear your workspaces (which it should have) and now your new embedding model cannot vectorized your inputs at the same dimension as the previous embedder.

The default embedder is 384 dimensions, since this says your table is 192 at some point you changed the embedder, embedded some content, and went to another model.

Open the workspace in the UI > settings > Vector database > Reset vector DB + remove all cached documents and reupload them. This is why in the UI there is a big warning when you change the model or provider - since it breaks existing inputs because most embedding models have varying dimensions and you cannot vector search across different embedding dimensions

I went rollback to version 1.8.1 and now it's working well, I didn't change anything else.

The only thing that changed from 1.8.1 to 1.8.1-r2 was the Azure OpenAI SDK, so that would not impact anything related to that...its working on 1.8.1 though?
