+### Embeddings
+
+In the OpenAI Python library, an embedding represents a text string as a fixed-length vector of floating point numbers. Embeddings are designed to measure the similarity or relevance between text strings.
+
+To get an embedding for a text string, you can use the embeddings method as follows in Python:
+
+```python
+import openai
+openai.api_key = "sk-..."  # supply your API key however you choose
+
+# choose text to embed
+text_string = "sample text"
+
+# choose an embedding
+model_id = "davinci-similarity"
+
+# compute the embedding of the text
+embedding = openai.Engine(id=model_id).embeddings(input=text_string)['data'][0]['embedding']
+```
+
+An example of how to call the embeddings method is shown in the [get embeddings notebook](https://github.com/openai/openai-python/blob/main/examples/embeddings/Get_embeddings.ipynb).
+
+Examples of how to use embeddings are shared in the following Jupyter notebooks:

+- [Clustering using embeddings](https://github.com/openai/openai-python/blob/main/examples/embeddings/Clustering.ipynb)

+For more information on embeddings and the types of embeddings OpenAI offers, read the [embeddings guide](https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/embeddings) in the OpenAI documentation.
+
+### Fine tuning
+
+Fine tuning a model on training data can both improve the results (by giving the model more examples to learn from) and reduce the cost & latency of API calls (by reducing the need to include training examples in prompts).
+
+Examples of fine tuning are shared in the following Jupyter notebooks:
+
+- [Classification with fine tuning](https://github.com/openai/openai-python/blob/main/examples/finetuning/finetuning-classification.ipynb) (a simple notebook that shows the steps required for fine tuning)
+- Fine tuning a model that answers questions about the 2020 Olympics
