[Bug]: Python kernel crashes when using Chroma's from_texts

[Kviilen]

What happened?

When using the from_texts method of Chroma, the Python kernel crashes without any error messages. The process finishes with exit code -1073741819 (0xC0000005). This issue occurs consistently and makes it impossible to use this method effectively. I am using the latest version of Chroma and have tried on different environments but still encounter the same problem. Any help or suggestions to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

@Kviilen, recently we've observed kernel crashes on Windows system. One of the workarounds was to update your system with the latest patches from Microsoft and use python 3.10. Alternatively users have reported that running 0.5.3 also solved the problem (although I wouldn't recommend downgrading).

[Kviilen]

I have located that the code at line 382 in the file embeddings_queue.py: if len(filtered_embeddings) > 0: sub.callback(filtered_embeddings) will cause the Python kernel to crash.

thanks @Kviilen I was able to test chroma on local by both downgrading the chroma. Another way of lowering python version to 3.10.

However, the query results are not clear to me. The query is showing results (documents and scores) of completely unrelated query term, which i fail to infer or understand. Documentation is also providing the clear behaviour
