Hello, this might be extremely basic, but when I try to run the following command:

result = ollama.embeddings(
        model="nomic-embed-text", 
        prompt=prompt, 
        base_url="http://10.1.8.100:11434",
        )

I get the following unexpected argument base_url:

result = ollama.embeddings(
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: Client.embeddings() got an unexpected keyword argument 'base_url'

What am I missing? 🥲 Thanks!

The module level client is intended for quick integration using default client configurations. If you want to change things like base_url, you need to instantiate a new client

client = ollama.Client(base_url="http://10.1.8.100:11434")
client.embeddings(...)

Alternatively, you can use the module-level client and set base URL with OLLAMA_HOST

$ export OLLAMA_HOST=10.1.8.0
$ python -c 'import ollama; ollama.embeddings(...)'
