  <Card title="Rust SDK" icon="rust" href="/reference/sdks/rust/overview" />
</CardGroup>

## Inference

Use the Inference API to generate vector embeddings and rerank results using [embedding models](/guides/index-data/create-an-index#embedding-models) and [reranking models](/guides/search/rerank-results#reranking-models) hosted on Pinecone's infrastructure.

There are two ways to use the Inference API:

* As a standalone service, through the [Rerank documents](/reference/api/latest/inference/rerank) and [Generate vectors](/reference/api/latest/inference/generate-embeddings) endpoints.
* As an integrated part of database operations, through the [Create an index with integrated embedding](/reference/api/latest/control-plane/create_for_model), [Upsert text](/reference/api/latest/data-plane/upsert_records), and [Search with text](/reference/api/latest/data-plane/search_records) endpoints.
