# What does this PR do?
<!-- Provide a short summary of what this PR does and why. Link to
relevant issues if applicable. -->
The purpose of this PR is to replace the Llama Stack's default embedding
model by nomic-embed-text-v1.5.
These are the key reasons why Llama Stack community decided to switch
from all-MiniLM-L6-v2 to nomic-embed-text-v1.5:
1. The training data for
[all-MiniLM-L6-v2](https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2#training-data)
includes a lot of data sets with various licensing terms, so it is
tricky to know when/whether it is appropriate to use this model for
commercial applications.
2. The model is not particularly competitive on major benchmarks. For
example, if you look at the [MTEB
Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard) and click
on Miscellaneous/BEIR to see English information retrieval accuracy, you
see that the top of the leaderboard is dominated by enormous models but
also that there are many, many models of relatively modest size whith
much higher Retrieval scores. If you want to look closely at the data, I
recommend clicking "Download Table" because it is easier to browse that
way.

This PR significantly refactors the Integration Tests workflow. The main
goal behind the PR was to enable recording of vision tests which were
never run as part of our CI ever before. During debugging, I ended up
making several other changes refactoring and hopefully increasing the
robustness of the workflow.
After doing the experiments, I have updated the trigger event to be
`pull_request_target` so this workflow can get write permissions by
default but it will run with source code from the base (main) branch in
the source repository only. If you do change the workflow, you'd need to
experiment using the `workflow_dispatch` triggers. This should not be
news to anyone using Github Actions (except me!)
It is likely to be a little rocky though while I learn more about GitHub
Actions, etc. Please be patient :)
