It looks like ‘text-embedding-3’ embeddings are truncated/scaled versions from higher dim version

TLDR: truncate first N dim and scale linalg.norm

v0 = emb(dim=1024)
v1 = emb(dim=3072)
v1 = np.array(Embedding1)
v1 = v1[0:1024] # truncate the large model at higher dims to match the low dim model
v1 = v1/np.linalg.norm(v1) # re-scale back out to unit hypersphere.

c = np.dot(v0,v1)
