# What does this PR do?
add /v1/inference/embeddings implementation to NVIDIA provider
**open topics** -
- *asymmetric models*. NeMo Retriever includes asymmetric models, which
are models that embed differently depending on if the input is destined
for storage or lookup against storage. the /v1/inference/embeddings api
does not allow the user to indicate the type of embedding to perform.
see https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-stack/issues/934
- *truncation*. embedding models typically have a limited context
window, e.g. 1024 tokens is common though newer models have 8k windows.
when the input is larger than this window the endpoint cannot perform
its designed function. two options: 0. return an error so the user can
reduce the input size and retry; 1. perform truncation for the user and
proceed (common strategies are left or right truncation). many users
encounter context window size limits and will struggle to write reliable
programs. this struggle is especially acute without access to the
model's tokenizer. the /v1/inference/embeddings api does not allow the
user to delegate truncation policy. see
https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-stack/issues/933
- *dimensions*. "Matryoshka" embedding models are available. they allow
users to control the number of embedding dimensions the model produces.
this is a critical feature for managing storage constraints. embeddings
of 1024 dimensions what achieve 95% recall for an application may not be
worth the storage cost if a 512 dimensions can achieve 93% recall.
controlling embedding dimensions allows applications to determine their
recall and storage tradeoffs. the /v1/inference/embeddings api does not
allow the user to control the output dimensions. see

# What does this PR do?
Before this change, `distro_codegen.py` would only work if the user
manually installed multiple provider-specific dependencies (see #1122).
Now, users can run `distro_codegen.py` without any provider-specific
dependencies because we avoid importing the entire provider
implementations just to get the config needed to build the provider
template.
Concretely, this mostly means moving the
MODEL_ALIASES (and related variants) definitions to a new models.py
class within the provider implementation for those providers that
require additional dependencies. It also meant moving a couple of
imports from top-level imports to inside `get_adapter_impl` for some
providers, which follows the pattern used by multiple existing
providers.
To ensure we don't regress and accidentally add new imports that cause
distro_codegen.py to fail, the stubbed-in pre-commit hook for
distro_codegen.py was uncommented and slightly tweaked to run via `uv
run python ...` to ensure it runs with only the project's default
dependencies and to run automatically instead of manually.
Lastly, this updates distro_codegen.py itself to keep track of paths it
might have changed and to only `git diff` those specific paths when
checking for changed files instead of doing a diff on the entire working
tree. The latter was overly broad and would require a user have no other
unstaged changes in their working tree, even if those unstaged changes
were unrelated to generated code. Now it only flags uncommitted changes
for paths distro_codegen.py actually writes to.
Our generated code was also out-of-date, presumably because of these
issues, so this commit also has some updates to the generated code
purely because it was out of sync, and the pre-commit hook now enforces
things to be updated.
(Closes#1122)
## Test Plan
I manually tested distro_codegen.py and the pre-commit hook to verify
those work as expected, flagging any uncommited changes and catching any
imports that attempt to pull in provider-specific dependencies.
However, I do not have valid api keys to the impacted provider
implementations, and am unable to easily run the inference tests against
each changed provider. There are no functional changes to the provider
implementations here, but I'd appreciate a second set of eyes on the
changed import statements and moving of MODEL_ALIASES type code to a
separate models.py to ensure I didn't make any obvious errors.
