# What does this PR do?
This PR adds two methods to the Inference API:
- `batch_completion`
- `batch_chat_completion`
The motivation is for evaluations targeting a local inference engine
(like meta-reference or vllm) where batch APIs provide for a substantial
amount of acceleration.
Why did I not add this to `Api.batch_inference` though? That just
resulted in a _lot_ more book-keeping given the structure of Llama
Stack. Had I done that, I would have needed to create a notion of a
"batch model" resource, setup routing based on that, etc. This does not
sound ideal.
So what's the future of the batch inference API? I am not sure. Maybe we
can keep it for true _asynchronous_ execution. So you can submit
requests, and it can return a Job instance, etc.
## Test Plan
Run meta-reference-gpu using:
```bash
export INFERENCE_MODEL=meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct
export INFERENCE_CHECKPOINT_DIR=../checkpoints/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct-20250331210000
export MODEL_PARALLEL_SIZE=4
export MAX_BATCH_SIZE=32
export MAX_SEQ_LEN=6144
LLAMA_MODELS_DEBUG=1 llama stack run meta-reference-gpu
```
Then run the batch inference test case.

## Test Plan
export MODEL=accounts/fireworks/models/llama4-scout-instruct-basic;
LLAMA_STACK_CONFIG=verification pytest -s -v tests/integration/inference
--vision-model $MODEL --text-model $MODEL
Running full Tool Calling required some updates to work e2e.
- Remove `python_start` and `python_end` tags
- Tool Call messages and Tool Resposne messages should end with
`<|eom|>`
- System prompt needed updates
```
You are a helpful assisant who can can answer general questions or invoke tools when necessary.
In addition to tool calls, you should also augment your responses by using the tool outputs.
```
### Test Plan
- Start server with meta-reference
```
LLAMA_STACK_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK=1 LLAMA_MODELS_DEBUG=1 INFERENCE_MODEL=meta-llama/$MODEL llama stack run meta-reference-gpu
```
- Added **NEW** tests with 5 test cases for multi-turn tool calls
```
pytest -s -v --stack-config http://localhost:8321 tests/integration/inference/test_text_inference.py --text-model meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct
```
- Also verified all vision and agent tests pass
# What does this PR do?
TTFT number largely depends on input length. Ideally we have a
"standard" test that we can use to measure against any llama stack
serving.
TODO: Once JSON is replaced with YAML, I will add "notes" for each test
to explain purpose of each test in place.
## Test plan
Please refer to e2e test doc for setup.
```
LLAMA_STACK_PORT=8322 pytest -v -s --stack-config="http://localhost:8322" \
--text-model="meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct" \
tests/integration/inference/test_text_inference.py::test_text_chat_completion_first_token_profiling
```
# What does this PR do?
When running `tests/integration/inference/test_text_inference.py` on
smaller models, such as Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct, I sometimes get test
flakes where the model passes "San Francisco" as an argument to my tool
call instead of "San Francisco, CA" which is what we expect.
So, this expands upon that tool calling parameter's description to
explicitly state that both city and state are required. With this
change, the tool calling tests that are checking for this "San
Francisco, CA" value are always passing for me instead of sometimes
failing.
## Test Plan
I test this locally via vLLM like:
```
VLLM_URL="http://localhost:8000/v1" \
INFERENCE_MODEL="meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct" \
LLAMA_STACK_CONFIG=remote-vllm \
python -m pytest -v \
tests/integration/inference/test_text_inference.py \
--inference-model "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct" \
--vision-inference-model ""
```
I don't expect this would negatively impact the parameter generated for
this tool call by other models, as we're providing additional guidance
but not removing any of the existing guidance. However, I cannot easily
confirm that myself.

Continues the refactor of tests.
Tests from `providers/tests` should be considered deprecated. For this
PR, I deleted most of the tests in
- inference
- safety
- agents
since much more comprehensive tests exist in
`tests/integration/{inference,safety,agents}` already.
I moved `test_persistence.py` from agents, but disabled all the tests
since that test needs to be properly migrated.
