Proposed fix: [pgvector] ERROR "NaN not allowed in vector" / "infinite value not allowed in vector" when inserting embeddings from a broken model output
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Validate embeddings before insert (np.isfinite(v).all()), fix the embedding pipeline (dtype, normalization of zero vectors), and skip or re-embed bad chunks.
Option: Filter/repair non-finite embeddings before insert [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Embedding ingestion pipelines
Steps:
1. assert np.isfinite(vec).all()
2. re-embed or drop offending chunks
Expected: Inserts succeed
