## Configuration
A Generative AI provider can be configured in the global config, which will make the Generative AI features available for use. There are currently 4 native providers available to integrate with Frigate. Other providers that support the OpenAI standard API can also be used. See the OpenAI-Compatible section below.

There are currently several native providers available to integrate with Frigate. Other providers that support the OpenAI standard API can also be used. See the OpenAI-Compatible section below.
To use Generative AI, you must define a single provider at the global level of your Frigate configuration. If the provider you choose requires an API key, you may either directly paste it in your configuration, or store it in an environment variable prefixed with `FRIGATE_`.

### TwelveLabs (Marengo embeddings)
[TwelveLabs](https://twelvelabs.io) provides the Marengo multimodal model, which embeds text and images into a shared vector space. This makes it usable as the `embeddings` provider for Frigate's [Semantic Search](/configuration/semantic_search), letting a natural-language query match stored event thumbnails directly.
This provider implements only the `embeddings` role. Use a separate provider (such as Ollama, Gemini, or OpenAI) for the `descriptions` and `chat` roles if you want generated descriptions as well.
#### Get API Key
Create an API key from the [TwelveLabs dashboard](https://playground.twelvelabs.io/dashboard/api-key). There is a generous free tier.
#### Configuration
<ConfigTabs>
<TabItem value="ui">
1. Navigate to <NavPath path="Settings > Enrichments > Generative AI" />.
- Set **Provider** to `twelvelabs`
- Set **API key** to your TwelveLabs API key (or use an environment variable such as `{FRIGATE_TWELVELABS_API_KEY}`)
- Optionally set **Model** to override the default Marengo model (`marengo3.0`)

"""TwelveLabs provider for Frigate AI.
Provides multimodal embeddings for Frigate's semantic search via TwelveLabs'
Marengo model. Marengo produces text and image embeddings in a shared vector
space, so a natural-language query and a stored event thumbnail can be matched
directly — which is exactly what the ``embeddings`` GenAI role drives.
This provider is opt-in: it is only used when a ``genai`` config entry sets
``provider: twelvelabs`` and includes the ``embeddings`` role. It does not
implement the ``descriptions``/``chat`` roles — Marengo is an embedding model,
and TwelveLabs' Pegasus description model operates on whole video clips rather
than the per-frame thumbnails Frigate hands to ``_send``.
Marengo embeddings are 512-dimensional; Frigate's semantic search schema
expects 768 dimensions. The shared :class:`~frigate.embeddings.genai_embedding.GenAIEmbedding`
adapter zero-pads shorter vectors, so the dimension difference is handled
upstream and is consistent for both text and image inputs.
