	```bash
	# Create model
	echo "FROM multilingual-e5-small-q8_0.gguf" > Modelfile
	ollama create multilingual-e5-small -f Modelfile

	# Embed
	curl http://localhost:11434/api/embed -d '{"model":"multilingual-e5-small","input":["Hello world"]}'
	```

	### Python (CrispEmbed)
	```python
	from crispembed import CrispEmbed
	model = CrispEmbed("multilingual-e5-small-q8_0.gguf")
	vectors = model.encode(["Hello world", "Goodbye world"])
	```

	## Server API

	CrispEmbed server supports four API dialects:
	- `POST /embed` — native
	- `POST /v1/embeddings` — OpenAI-compatible
	- `POST /api/embed` — Ollama-compatible
	- `POST /api/embeddings` — Ollama legacy
