Add end-to-end embedding/sentence-transformer training pipeline using
FastSentenceTransformer, SentenceTransformerTrainer, and
MultipleNegativesRankingLoss with BatchSamplers.NO_DUPLICATES.
Backend:
- Add is_embedding_model() detection via HF tags + pipeline_tag
- Add /check-embedding/ API route and EmbeddingCheckResponse
- Extend derive_model_type() to return "embeddings"
- Add _run_embedding_training() in worker.py with progress callbacks,
stop handling, LoRA (task_type=FEATURE_EXTRACTION), and model saving
- Add is_embedding field to TrainingStartRequest and ModelDetails
- Add YAML configs for 5 models: all-MiniLM-L6-v2, bge-m3,
embeddinggemma-300m, gte-modernbert-base, Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B
Frontend:
- Wire isEmbeddingModel flag through store, API types, and mappers
- Force packing=false, train_on_completions=false, warmup_ratio=0.03
- Hide packing and train_on_completions checkboxes for embedding models
- Auto-set modelType to "embeddings" from backend model_type response
Derive a single model_type string ("text" | "vision" | "audio" | "embeddings")
from existing is_vision and audio_type detection, so the frontend doesn't have
to infer modality from scattered boolean flags.
Non-conversational HF datasets (e.g. stanfordnlp/snli) were naively mapped
column→role, producing poor training results. The AI Assist button now runs
a 3-pass advisor using Qwen 7B that:
1. Fetches the HF dataset card/README to understand the dataset purpose
2. Classifies the dataset type and determines if conversion is needed
3. Generates a system prompt, user/assistant templates with {column}
placeholders, and label mappings (e.g. 0→entailment)
4. Validates the conversion quality (score ≥7/10 required)
Architecture: advisor metadata flows as __-prefixed keys in
custom_format_mapping (e.g. __system_prompt, __user_template,
__assistant_template, __label_mapping). The existing _apply_user_mapping()
detects these keys and routes to template-based conversation construction.
No __ keys = existing simple mode (backwards compatible).
Backend: upgraded llm_assist.py (7B default, multi-pass advisor,
HF card fetching), extended API models, added _apply_template_mapping()
to dataset_utils.py.
Frontend: extended store with advisor state fields, wired AI Assist
to store templates/system prompt, inject __ metadata in training request,
show advisor notification banner in mapping card.
Move LLM-assisted column mapping from silent /check-format automation
to an explicit "AI Assist" button in the dataset mapping dialog. This
makes the feature transparent and user-controlled.
- Remove llm_classify_columns() from check_dataset_format() (heuristic-only)
- Remove auto-save suggested_mapping from use-training-actions.ts
- Add POST /api/datasets/ai-assist-mapping endpoint (receives preview
samples from frontend, no dataset re-loading needed)
- Add AiAssistMappingRequest/Response models
- Add aiAssistMapping() frontend API function
- Add Sparkles AI Assist button to DatasetMappingCard with loading state
- Wire up handleAiAssist handler in dataset-preview-dialog.tsx
- Frontend auto-saves suggested_mapping into datasetManualMapping when
check-format returns requires_manual_mapping=false, so the mapping
flows to training via custom_format_mapping (no redundant AI calls)
- Backend returns meaningful warning when column detection fails
(LLM-generated or static fallback) for both text and VLM datasets
- /check-format endpoint merges check_dataset_format warnings with
existing URL-based image detection warnings
Tier 1 check-format was picking images.zip over testmini.parquet,
causing wrong columns (image/label) and broken VLM mapping.
Also log first VLM conversion failure instead of swallowing silently.
1. Export route: stop_training() only signals the subprocess — wait up to
30s for it to actually exit before loading the export checkpoint, avoiding
a GPU memory race.
2. Training reset: clear _should_stop so /api/train/status returns phase=idle
instead of staying stuck on phase=stopped after a user-triggered stop.

Inference now runs in a persistent subprocess, solving the same
transformers version-switching problem that was fixed for training.
The subprocess stays alive between requests (model in GPU memory)
and is only restarted when switching transformers versions.
New files:
- core/inference/worker.py: subprocess entry point with command loop
- core/inference/orchestrator.py: parent-side proxy with same API
Modified:
- core/inference/__init__.py: exports orchestrator as default backend
- routes/inference.py: removed in-process ensure_transformers_version()
