## Pluggable embeddings for the self-hosted server[#](https://supermemory.ai/changelog/pluggable-embeddings-for-self-hosted)

Choose the embedding model your local server uses: the built-in local model, OpenAI, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or Google.

### Improvements

* Pick a provider at first boot or set it with SUPERMEMORY\_EMBEDDING\_\* environment variables; the server locks the choice so all vectors stay consistent.
* Existing installs upgrade safely and keep their original local embedding model.
* Switching to a different model with the same dimensions stops with a clear error instead of mixing incompatible vectors.
* [Upgrade with supermemory-server upgrade, or read the full release notes on GitHub.](https://github.com/supermemoryai/supermemory/releases/tag/server-v0.0.5)
