# 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 change removes the `llama model` and `llama download` subcommands
from the CLI, replacing them with recommendations to use the Hugging
Face CLI instead.
Rationale for this change:
- The model management functionality was largely duplicating what
Hugging Face CLI already provides, leading to unnecessary maintenance
overhead (except the download source from Meta?)
- Maintaining our own implementation required fixing bugs and keeping up
with changes in model repositories and download mechanisms
- The Hugging Face CLI is more mature, widely adopted, and better
maintained
- This allows us to focus on the core Llama Stack functionality rather
than reimplementing model management tools
Changes made:
- Removed all model-related CLI commands and their implementations
- Updated documentation to recommend using `huggingface-cli` for model
downloads
- Removed Meta-specific download logic and statements
- Simplified the CLI to focus solely on stack management operations
Users should now use:
- `huggingface-cli download` for downloading models
- `huggingface-cli scan-cache` for listing downloaded models
This is a breaking change as it removes previously available CLI
commands.

As the title says. Distributions is in, Templates is out.
`llama stack build --template` --> `llama stack build --distro`. For
backward compatibility, the previous option is kept but results in a
warning.
Updated `server.py` to remove the "config_or_template" backward
compatibility since it has been a couple releases since that change.
