…it from the model name Memory Bases persisted an embedding provider inferred from the model name. That inference cannot see live-discovered models, so a model served by an OpenAI Compatible endpoint was stored as "OpenAI" and every ingestion and retrieval then asked for OPENAI_API_KEY. The Create Memory modal now sends the provider of the selected model, the create payload accepts it, and the service canonicalizes it through the provider registry before persisting it on the backing knowledge_base row. A caller-supplied provider with no embedding class is rejected with 422 at create time instead of failing at the first ingestion. The update path reads the stored provider instead of re-inferring it. Name-based inference remains the fallback for callers that omit the field. Fixes #14860

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR makes Memory Base creation and later embedding operations use the selected embedding provider, while rejecting invalid providers early. It is mergeable with owner awareness that read responses still omit the effective provider, limiting client verification and round-tripping, and that a route-level 422 regression test would improve coverage.

Can we create a tracker to unify the model discovery pattern for provider vs models? This is too large a change that I am suggesting for this PR but we should track it.
Ideally at some point we should be able to call:
_infer_model_provider(*args, **kwargs)
and have this guarded behaviour across all provider -> model mappings. Do you agree?

Agreed, and this PR is a good example of why: to fix one path I ended up walking five others that answer the same question differently.
Today "which provider serves this model" is answered in six places:
infer_embedding_provider(memory_base/embedding_helpers.py): static catalog with no user id → name patterns → silent"OpenAI"defaultinfer_llm_provider(same file): catalog only, raises on unknown_infer_preprocessing_model_provider(memory_base/service.py): wraps the one above_select_embedding_provider+_require_embedding_class(memory_base/service.py, this PR): explicit provider wins, canonicalized via the registry, checked for an embedding class_require_create_embedding_provider+_provider_identity(api/v1/knowledge_bases.py): flat provider vsmodel_selectionwith its own identity normalizationget_provider_for_model_name(lfx provider_queries.py), which two of the above call
They disagree on whether the lookup is user-aware, whether unknown means "default to OpenAI" or "raise", whether the result is canonicalized, and whether capability for the model type is checked.
What I'd put in the tracker:
- One helper in lfx next to the provider registry, since both the KB route and the memory service need it. I'd go for a typed signature rather than
*args, **kwargs, something likeresolve_model_provider(model_name, *, provider=None, model_type, user_id)with a single rule: explicit provider wins → user-aware catalog → fail with a clear error, never a silent OpenAI default. - Migrate the six call sites above to it.
- Retire name-only persistence. The
knowledge_baserow already stores{name, provider};memory_basestill stores onlyembedding_model. Once every writer carries the pair, inference is only a backfill concern and the fallback branch can be deleted.
Happy to open the ticket if you want to link it here.

@viktoravelino can you create a tracker for this? The PR looks fine otherwise.

Fixes #14860
Creating a Memory with an embedding model served by the OpenAI Compatible provider produced a Memory Base that could never embed: every ingestion and retrieval failed with
OpenAI API key is required. Please provide it in the component or configure it globally as OPENAI_API_KEY.The Create Memory modal only sent the model name, and the backend guessed the provider from it. That guess runs without a user context, so it cannot see live-discovered models and labels them
OpenAI. The wrong provider was persisted on the backingknowledge_baserow, and both ingestion and retrieval resolved OpenAI credentials from there.Now the modal sends the provider of the selected model, the create payload accepts it, and the service canonicalizes it through the provider registry (so
openaipersists asOpenAI) before storing it. A caller-supplied provider with no embedding class (typo, chat-only provider) is rejected with 422 at create time instead of failing at the first ingestion; the policy check still runs first so a hidden provider stays indistinguishable from a missing one. The update path reads the stored provider instead of re-inferring it. Name-based inference remains the fallback for API callers that omit the field.Verified on a running instance against a local mock OpenAI-compatible endpoint serving one model,
mock-embed-1. Same memory, same two chat messages, same manual sync:model_selection{"name": "mock-embed-1", "provider": "OpenAI"}{"name": "mock-embed-1", "provider": "OpenAI Compatible"}/v1/modelsonly/v1/models+POST /v1/embeddings(modelmock-embed-1, endpoint key)embedding_provider: "OpenAl"on createEmbedding provider 'OpenAl' is not available for embeddings.Raw records from the verification run (API responses, DB rows, endpoint traffic)
Same memory, two chat messages in one session, sync triggered with
POST /api/v1/memories/{id}/flush. The endpoint is a local mock that serves/v1/modelsand/v1/embeddingsand logs every request.Before

Create-time handling of

Supersedes #14863, which takes the same approach for the create payload; this one adds registry canonicalization, create-time validation, the update-path change, and tests, and targets the release branch.
Not in this PR: the memory read/list responses still do not expose the provider, so the details page cannot display it yet.
