The request names TEI, which matches Hugging Face Text Embeddings Inference 8, the product itself, so it comes first; its page confirms Hugging Face hosts models and inference, and its official CLI door is text-embeddings-inference. Alternatives that serve embeddings for the same job are Sentence Transformers 2, LocalAI's embedding action 1020, Replicate's Arctic Embed model 515, and Ollama 6.
