 Minor detail here: the encoder is designed to work on batches of input, so the actual vector representation is `v2[0]`.
 
-We can verify that the vector we generated using the encoder is identical to the vector that is stored in the index by computing the L2 norm (which should be zero):

 In other words, the library just performs brute force dot products of each query vector against all document vectors.
 
 The above indexing command takes around 30 minutes to run on a modern laptop, with most of the time occupied by performing neural inference using the CPU.
+Adjust the `batch` parameter above accordingly for your hardware; 32 is the default, but reduce the value if you find that the encoding is taking too long.
