# What does this PR do?
This PR kills the notion of "pure passthrough" remote providers. You
cannot specify a single provider you must specify a whole distribution
(stack) as remote.
This PR also significantly fixes / upgrades testing infrastructure so
you can now test against a remotely hosted stack server by just doing
```bash
pytest -s -v -m remote test_agents.py \
--inference-model=Llama3.1-8B-Instruct --safety-shield=Llama-Guard-3-1B \
--env REMOTE_STACK_URL=http://localhost:5001
```
Also fixed `test_agents_persistence.py` (which was broken) and killed
some deprecated testing functions.
## Test Plan
All the tests.
This PR changes the way model id gets translated to the final model name
that gets passed through the provider.
Major changes include:
1) Providers are responsible for registering an object and as part of
the registration returning the object with the correct provider specific
name of the model provider_resource_id
2) To help with the common look ups different names a new ModelLookup
class is created.
Tested all inference providers including together, fireworks, vllm,
ollama, meta reference and bedrock
Splits the meta-reference safety implementation into three distinct providers:
- inline::llama-guard
- inline::prompt-guard
- inline::code-scanner
Note that this PR is a backward incompatible change to the llama stack server. I have added deprecation_error field to ProviderSpec -- the server reads it and immediately barfs. This is used to direct the user with a specific message on what action to perform. An automagical "config upgrade" is a bit too much work to implement right now :/
(Note that we will be gradually prefixing all inline providers with inline:: -- I am only doing this for this set of new providers because otherwise existing configuration files will break even more badly.)
