[Usage]: How can I get the sparse embedding from OpenAI Embedding Client?

[shawnhaoxy]

I want to run embedding model like BGE-m3 for online serve. I can get the dense embedding, but how can I get its sparse embedding?

This isn't supported in vLLM yet. cc @maxdebayser

Interesting, let me see what changes would be required in vLLM.

@DarkLight1337 , I've created a PoC PR that returns bge-m3 sparse embeddings. There are still several limitations, I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Hi @maxdebayser, Is that still going on?

[maxdebayser]

Yes, but it's on hold until we can get embedding support in V1.

@maxdebayser sorry to bother you, is this still in the process of being implemented?
