Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds cross-encoder training and changes customized embedding artifacts and serving paths, while also making shared model files readable by all container users to avoid deployment failures. Incorrect classification or mixed component versions could prevent a model from serving, and the permission change broadens access to model artifacts for co-located processes. Merge readiness therefore requires explicit owner acceptance or mitigation of these bounded security and compatibility risks. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Inline comments:
In `@openapi/ga/individual/platform.openapi.yaml`:
- Around line 15831-15837: Normalize ModelSpec at the API boundary before
_model_to_model_entity returns the stored spec: keep head_type and
is_embedding_model consistent in both directions, defining and applying a
deterministic precedence when both fields conflict. Ensure legacy payloads
cannot yield head_type "unknown" with is_embedding_model true or head_type
"embedding" with it false, and add tests covering both conflict cases.
In `@plugins/nemo-automodel/src/nemo_automodel_plugin/schema.py`:
- Around line 199-213: Update _apply_retrieval_recipe_defaults to run after
_resolve_training_recipe has converted auto to BI_ENCODER or CROSS_ENCODER, so
resolved retrieval jobs receive the intended batch, learning-rate, and warmup
defaults instead of generic values. Ensure the checks use the resolved recipe
while preserving explicitly configured fields.
In `@services/automodel/src/nmp/automodel/tasks/training/backends/finetune.py`:
- Line 22: Align the AutoModel dependency in the training backend with the
retrieval imports by either pinning a version that provides
nemo_automodel.recipes.retrieval, or moving both retrieval recipe imports,
including TrainCrossEncoderRecipe, into the retrieval-specific execution path so
module loading does not fail for SFT selection.
In
`@services/core/models/src/nmp/core/models/controllers/backends/vllm_compiler.py`:
- Around line 56-60: The _model_path() condition must read the ModelSpec
compatibility property is_embedding instead of is_embedding_model; update
services/core/models/src/nmp/core/models/controllers/backends/vllm_compiler.py
lines 56-60. Update the fixture in
services/core/models/tests/unit/controllers/backends/test_vllm_compiler.py lines
74-76 to set is_embedding=True.
In `@services/core/models/src/nmp/core/models/schemas.py`:
- Around line 163-167: Keep ModelSpec head_type and is_embedding_model
consistent in both schemas.py and types.py at the listed ranges: derive the
deprecated alias from head_type or reject conflicting values, and normalize
legacy payloads with is_embedding_model=true and no head_type to
head_type="embedding" so cross_encoder cannot be treated as embedding.
In `@services/core/models/src/nmp/core/models/tasks/model_spec/utils.py`:
- Around line 139-140: Update the AutoModelForSequenceClassification handling in
the model-spec signal extraction logic so it adds the cross-encoder signal only
when the existing single-score or reranking evidence is also present; do not
classify a generic multi-label classifier solely from its auto_map entry. Add a
regression case covering num_labels: 3 with this auto_map mapping and verify it
is not classified as a cross-encoder.
In `@web/packages/common/src/components/ModelSelectV2/ModelDetailsPanel.tsx`:
- Around line 24-26: Update the isEmbeddingModel calculation in
ModelDetailsPanel so it remains true when headType is "embedding" or
model.spec?.is_embedding_model is true, including when headType is "unknown" or
otherwise populated by validation.

In `@services/automodel/src/nmp/automodel/tasks/training/backends/config.py`:
- Around line 66-67: Update the training-recipe selection logic around
TrainingRecipe.BI_ENCODER to prioritize the explicit head value: return
BI_ENCODER for head == "embedding", but do not let is_embedding_model override
known heads such as "causal_lm"; consult the legacy flag only when the head is
unknown or missing. Add a regression case covering a causal-LM head with a stale
true alias and preserve SFT selection.
In `@services/core/models/src/nmp/core/models/schemas.py`:
- Line 176: Update the pre-validation synchronization logic at both
sites—services/core/models/src/nmp/core/models/schemas.py:176 and
packages/nemo_platform_plugin/src/nemo_platform_plugin/models/types.py:273—to
use Pydantic-compatible boolean normalization before deriving head_type and
is_embedding_model, or move synchronization to an after-validator. Ensure
false-like strings such as "false", "0", and "off" remain false, preserve
true-like string handling, and add regression cases covering both.

Summary
Automodel can train rerankers (
cross_encoder) as a first-class recipe, andModelSpecnow recordshead_typeso entity analysis, job compile, and the UI can tell causal LM, embedding, and cross-encoder models apart. Fine-tuned embedding checkpoints also export in a dual layout that NIM (ONNX at/model-store) and vLLM (HF under/model-store/alternates/hf) can both serve. A follow-up commit fixes docker NIM deployments that failed checksum withPermission deniedon huggingface_hub's0600cache files (NVBug 6711340).Related Issue
