…rence API class This PR overhauls the Hugging Face embeddings documentation page to fix structural inaccuracies and remove dead code. Key changes: - Removed HuggingFaceInferenceAPIEmbeddings: This class relies on the api-inference.huggingface.co endpoint, which Hugging Face has permanently shut down. Following the previous docs resulted in a KeyError: 0. It has been completely removed to prevent user confusion. - Corrected Local vs. Serverless definitions: The previous docs incorrectly stated that HuggingFaceEndpointEmbeddings ran locally. The page is now split into two clear, accurate sections: "Local Embeddings" (using sentence_transformers) and "Serverless API" (using Inference Endpoints). - Fixed API Token Initialization: Added the necessary os.environ["HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN"] block to the endpoint example so the code actually executes successfully when users copy and paste it.
