iai collections create

Create a collection from a config file

Synopsis

Create a vector collection from a YAML or JSON config file (--file).

The config declares the vector slot(s) — either an embedding-backed slot ("embedding": {model, dimension}) or a raw vector slot ({type, dimension, distance}) — and optional full-text search.

Slot type, dimension, distance, and the embedding model are IMMUTABLE after creation; fixing a wrong value means deleting and recreating the collection.

Run 'iai collections schema' for the config file format.

iai collections create <collection> [flags]
