+## End-to-end demos
+
+Two parallel scripts in `examples/smoke/` show the same multilingual `vec` flow against EmbeddingGemma — pick whichever embedding backend you already have wired up:
+
+| File | Backend | Why pick this one |
+|---|---|---|
+| `examples/smoke/embeddinggemma-demo.mjs` | Cloudflare Workers AI REST API directly | Zero extra infrastructure; bring a CF account + token. |
+| `examples/smoke/openai-bridge-demo.mjs` | [`openai-workers-ai-bridge`](https://github.com/MauricioPerera/openai-workers-ai-bridge) (OpenAI-compat Worker) | Same OpenAI base URL across every client (this script, LangChain, n8n, LibreChat). The bridge does **server-side Matryoshka truncation + L2 renorm** when you pass `dimensions`, so vectors land in `vec` ready for cosine without client-side reshape. Edge-cached embeddings — repeat runs cost 0 neurons. |
+
 ## Limitations / known deviations from spec
 
 - **`searchAcross` is implemented in this plugin, not upstream.** Each `vec create` produces an independent store instance, so cross-collection search is performed by merging per-collection searches by score. Functionally equivalent for non-IVF cases.

+// Sister of embeddinggemma-demo.mjs that uses openai-workers-ai-bridge
+// (https://github.com/MauricioPerera/openai-workers-ai-bridge) instead of
+// calling the Workers AI REST API directly.
+//
+// What this demonstrates over the direct-REST demo:
+//   * Server-side Matryoshka truncation — passing `dimensions: 256` returns
+//     a 256-dim vector that's already L2-renormalised, so we don't truncate
+//     and pad on the client side. Smaller wire payloads, smaller storage.
+//   * One backend URL across every OpenAI-compatible client (this script,
+//     LangChain, n8n, LibreChat, the OpenAI SDK), no per-tool key plumbing.
+//   * Idempotent embedding cache: the bridge stashes vectors at the edge,
+//     so re-runs of the same script cost 0 neurons after the first.
+//
+// Run from repo root:
+//   pnpm install
+//   pnpm build
+//   node examples/smoke/openai-bridge-demo.mjs \
+//     --bridge=https://openai-workers-ai-bridge.<sub>.workers.dev/v1 \
+//     --key=sk-cfwai-...
