Description: Volcano Ark is an enterprise-grade large-model service
platform for developers, providing a full range of functions and
services such as model training, inference, evaluation, fine-tuning. You
can visit its homepage at https://www.volcengine.com/docs/82379/1099455
for details. This change could help developers use the platform for
embedding.

- **Description:** Going forward, we have a own API `pip install
gradientai`. Therefore gradually removing the self-build packages in
llamaindex, haystack and langchain.

## Improvements
- Dynamic batch size, starting from 250, lowering down to 5. Batch size
varies across regions.
Some regions support larger batches, and it significantly improves
performance.
When running large batches of texts in `us-central1`, performance gain
can be up to 3.5x.
The dynamic batching also makes sure every batch is below 20K token
limit.
- New model parameter `embeddings_type` that translates to `task_type`
parameter of the API. Newer model versions support [different embeddings
task
types](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/generative-ai/embeddings/get-text-embeddings#api_changes_to_models_released_on_or_after_august_2023).
