Embedding Atlas: Apple's Open-Source Tool for Exploring Large-Scale Embeddings Locally
"Apple has introduced Embedding Atlas, a new open-source tool for visualizing and exploring large-scale embeddings interactively. Designed for researchers, data scientists, and developers, the platform provides a fast and intuitive way to analyze complex, high-dimensional data-from text embeddings to multimodal representations-without requiring any backend infrastructure or external data upload. The system runs entirely in the browser, meaning all computations, including embedding generation and projection, happen locally."
"This design ensures data privacy and reproducibility, while still enabling highly interactive exploration of millions of points. Through a clean WebGPU-powered interface, users can zoom, filter, and search embeddings in real time, making it possible to identify patterns, clusters, and anomalies with minimal setup."
Embedding Atlas is an open-source, browser-native tool for interactive visualization and exploration of large-scale embeddings. All computations, including embedding generation and projection, execute locally in the browser via WebGPU, preserving data privacy and ensuring reproducibility while enabling real-time interaction with millions of points. Built-in visualization features include automatic clustering and labeling, kernel density estimation, order-independent transparency, and coordinated metadata views to surface structure, clusters, and anomalies. The project is provided as a Python package (command-line, Jupyter widget, Streamlit integration) and as an npm library exposing reusable UI components for seamless integration into web workflows. The system incorporates recent Apple research in its design.
