# Embeddings OpenAI node

Use the Embeddings OpenAI node to generate [embeddings](/glossary.md#ai-embedding) for a given text.

On this page, you'll find the node parameters for the Embeddings OpenAI node, and links to more resources.

## Node options

* **Model**: Select the model to use for generating embeddings.
* **Base URL**: Enter the URL to send the request to. Use this if you are using a self-hosted OpenAI-like model. 
* **Batch Size**: Enter the maximum number of documents to send in each request.
* **Strip New Lines**: Select whether to remove new line characters from input text (turned on) or not (turned off). n8n enables this by default.
* **Timeout**: Enter the maximum amount of time a request can take in seconds. Set to `-1` for no timeout.
