Conversation
`wrenai[memory]` pulls sentence-transformers, and therefore torch. On linux-x86_64 the default index resolves the CUDA build: torch, triton and sixteen nvidia-* packages. An extra cannot pin a package index, so the existing extra has no way to express "torch, but the CPU wheel". Add `wrenai[memory-onnx]` — lancedb, onnxruntime, tokenizers — as an alternative to `memory` rather than an addition, and select between the two with WREN_EMBEDDING_BACKEND, defaulting to onnx when it is importable. It is deliberately left out of `all`, which keeps installing the sentence-transformers backend. The weights are the ONNX export published in the same HF repo as the torch weights, so this is not a re-export: the backend reproduces the sentence-transformers pipeline — tokenize to max_seq_length, encode, attention-masked mean pooling, L2 normalize — and emits the same 384-dim vectors to float32 rounding. Existing LanceDB tables stay readable without a reindex. Two details the pipeline has to get right or it silently degrades: - LanceDB's SentenceTransformerEmbeddings defaults to normalize=True and the existing adapter does not override it, so every stored vector is already L2-normalized. An unnormalized backend would leave old and new rows on different scales and skew distance ranking. - Only mean pooling is implemented. A CLS-pooled model would still yield a 384-vector, so 1_Pooling/config.json is checked and anything else is rejected rather than indexed with quietly wrong vectors. Also widen the LanceDB extra detection: it tested for sentence_transformers specifically, which would have silently downgraded a memory-onnx install to the Grep backend.
…her extra Backend resolution, masked mean pooling, L2 normalization, the token_type_ids feed, empty input, and the non-mean-pooling guard are covered with a fake session and tokenizer, so the fast lane needs no model download. A slow-lane test loads both real backends and asserts they agree to 1e-5 — that is the property existing stores depend on, and it is what caught the missing normalization. The store and WrenMemory suites gated on sentence_transformers, so they skipped wholesale under memory-onnx, which is exactly where running them proves something. Gate them on "lancedb plus some embedding backend" instead; that turns 53 skips into 104 executed tests on an onnx-only install. Three sentence-transformers-specific tests went through get_embedding_function, which now dispatches to onnx when both extras are present — they would have exercised the wrong backend, or hung waiting on a fake model that was never constructed. Build the adapter directly instead. TestLocalFirstEmbeddings also needed its importorskip moved into an autouse fixture: it monkeypatches sentence_transformers by string, which imports the module before the in-body skip could fire.
The existing memory job installs the sentence-transformers extra, so nothing would notice if the onnx path broke or if torch crept back into memory-onnx's resolution. Add a job that installs memory-onnx, asserts torch is absent, and runs the same memory suite.

Falling back keeps the process running and the vectors are identical either way, so failing hard would be worse. But someone who sets WREN_EMBEDDING_BACKEND=onnx specifically to avoid torch should not have to infer from a slow cold start that they did not get it. Log a warning naming the extra to install. Only an unhonored request for a real backend warns; an empty or unrecognized value still means "auto-detect" and stays quiet.
test-memory installs sentence-transformers without onnxruntime and test-memory-onnx does the reverse, so TestOnnxVectorParity importorskips out of both and never actually ran. It is the assertion existing stores depend on — a store written by one backend has to stay readable by the other — so give it a job where both extras are present.
torch is the package the issue names, but it is not where the gigabytes are — on linux-x86_64 the sentence-transformers path drags in triton and sixteen nvidia-* wheels behind it. A resolution that dropped torch while keeping the CUDA payload would pass the existing check and still defeat the extra.
Which backend is resolved is now a real choice — env var, install shape, or fallback — and the only symptoms of getting the wrong one are indirect: a slow cold start, or a venv that is 800 MB instead of 130 MB. Nothing in the CLI said which one was live. MemoryStore.status() reports it from resolve_embedding_backend() rather than from a constructed model, so `wren memory status` still never loads one — the existing lazy-load test covers that. The grep backend embeds nothing, so it prints no embedding line.
compute_source_embeddings / compute_query_embeddings are the pair MemoryStore calls, and _encode is where the pooling and normalization decisions live.

test-mcp, the most recently added job in this file (Canner#2681), already sets this; the seven older jobs predate it. A new job should follow the newer convention rather than the older one, especially sitting directly above the job that does — the parity job runs uv sync and pytest, so project-controlled code executes with whatever checkout left in .git/config. The seven older checkouts want the same treatment, but that is a workflow-wide change and not this PR's subject.

Two things I'd fix before merge; everything else I found is follow-up material. CI is green and the design is right — details inline.
…ooling
index_schema raises ValueError for a malformed manifest and cli.py reports it
as exactly that, so the pooling guard — which exists to stop a silently
wrong-vector index — told the user their MDL was broken:
Malformed manifest: The onnx embedding backend implements mean pooling, ...
UnsupportedPoolingError subclasses RuntimeError rather than ValueError so that
convention keeps its single meaning, and the CLI reports it on its own terms.
_DEFAULT_MODEL is read from the environment at import, so this job's WREN_EMBEDDING_MODEL override made the parity gate compare an English BERT/WordPiece model. The shipped default is XLM-R/SentencePiece: a different tokenizer family, no token_type_ids input, pad id 1 rather than 0. The property holds for the real default, but nothing kept it holding. The other two jobs keep the small model for speed; the cache key follows the model.

Both fixed. Pooling guard ( The ordering you noted survives the change — the HF cache for that repo held only Parity job ( PS on the cache — it is a larger fill than 470 MB. The job needs both backends' weights for that repo, so the onnx graph plus the torch weights: my |

Re-reviewed at Pooling guard. Parity gate. I read the job log rather than the config: the override is gone and the job now runs the shipped default — All 12 checks green. Five further findings below. None of them block merge — no data format, no API, no migration, and nothing that mis-reports to the user, which was the bar the last two items cleared. I'd still like the first one in this PR, for cost rather than severity; more on that at the end. 1.

| tensor | shape | bytes |
|---|---|---|
| pooled output (the return value) | batch × 384 | ~6 MB |
last_hidden_state |
batch × seq × 384 | ~786 MB |
| attention scores, per layer | batch × heads × seq² | ~3.1 GB |
| FFN intermediate, per layer | batch × seq × 1536 | ~3.1 GB |
onnxruntime plans and reuses buffers across nodes and may fuse attention, so the peak is not twelve layers summed — but several GB-scale allocations are live at once. To be clear about what this is: an argument from the code and the tensor shapes, not a measured OOM. I did not push a large manifest through onnxruntime, and the largest manifest I have to hand is 18 models / 91 columns, which is ~110 records and entirely harmless. This is about scaling, not about anything in the repo's own fixtures.
Two things make the batch worse than the record count suggests:
extract_schema_itemsemits one record per model, per column, per relationship, per view, and per cube/measure/dimension — so the count tracks total field count, not table count.enable_padding()is called withoutlength, so the batch pads to its own longest row (capped at 128). One verbose column description drags the entire batch to the pessimistic row of that table; on the sentence-transformers path the same row only inflates its own group of 32.
Nothing in the suite can see this: the largest batch under test is two rows, the parity test uses three, and _runtime is monkeypatched in the unit tests, so no test gets slower or fatter as batch size grows.
The fix is a chunk loop in _encode at 32 or 64. It is cheap for two reasons worth stating: mean pooling and L2 normalization are both per-row, so the vectors are bit-identical and the parity gate keeps covering them unchanged; and chunking also confines padding to each chunk, which removes the second effect above for free.
2. Preferring onnx on importability alone can turn a working custom-model install into a 404 traceback
resolve_embedding_backend() selects onnx whenever onnxruntime and tokenizers import. tokenizers always ships with the memory extra via transformers, so onnxruntime alone decides — and plenty of unrelated packages pull it in. If WREN_EMBEDDING_MODEL points at a repo with no ONNX export, _hf_file(repo, "onnx/model.onnx") raises. Verified live:
_hf_file("prajjwal1/bert-tiny", "onnx/model.onnx")
-> RemoteEntryNotFoundError (an OSError)
404 Client Error. (Request ID: Root=1-6a9a2dcf-...)
index catches only UnsupportedPoolingError and ValueError, so this surfaces as a typer pretty-traceback whose most informative line is 404 Client Error. Two things stand out. A configuration that worked before now fails; and it fails with sentence-transformers installed and able to serve the request — the opposite of the missing-extra case, which warns and falls back. Either fall back here too, or re-raise naming WREN_EMBEDDING_BACKEND=sentence-transformers, which is the courtesy the pooling guard already extends.
3. memory-onnx is documented nowhere
README.md lists every other extra on its own pip install 'wrenai[...]' line, and §6 is the memory walkthrough. This PR touches no docs, so the extra is discoverable only by reading pyproject.toml. One install line plus a sentence in §6 covers it. (WREN_EMBEDDING_MODEL is undocumented too, so env vars are not an established surface here — the extras list is.)
4. _max_seq_length silently defaults to 128 for exactly the repos an onnx user reaches for
ONNX-native mirrors publish onnx/model.onnx but no sentence_bert_config.json and no 1_Pooling/config.json — confirmed via the HF API for Xenova/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2 and Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2. Run against the Xenova mirror of the default model, _require_mean_pooling passes silently and _max_seq_length returns 128.
Both outcomes are correct there, and the _read_json → None path does work: I checked it specifically because "or None when absent" looked like it could be dead code, and it isn't — huggingface-hub 1.8 raises RemoteEntryNotFoundError, which subclasses OSError. So this is not a defect, only an invisible default: a 512-length model would truncate at 128 with no signal. Note the fix is not to fall back to config.json's max_position_embeddings — the default model reports 512 there against a real max_seq_length of 128, so that would diverge from sentence-transformers. A debug log saying the length was defaulted is enough.
5. The pooling guard's clean message reaches only wren memory index
memory store, recall and watch all embed, as does the agent path through WrenMemory, and none of them catch UnsupportedPoolingError — so a CLS-pooled model still tracebacks there. Related: _read_json catches OSError but not json.JSONDecodeError, which is a ValueError, so a corrupt 1_Pooling/config.json would resurface as Malformed manifest: — the same misattribution this round just closed.
On severity for 1, since I'm calling it non-blocking but asking for it here: the deciding factor is the cost ratio, not the risk. It is roughly five lines in a file this PR already rewrites, the vectors do not change so the parity gate needs no adjustment, and deferring it saves close to nothing while knowingly shipping an unbounded-memory path. What tips it is who the extra is for: people who choose it to go from 817 MB to 133 MB are disproportionately running under a container memory limit, on a CI runner, or on a small VM. Moving the cost from install size to runtime OOM lands it on precisely the audience the extra exists to serve, and they find out by pointing it at a real warehouse.
If you'd rather ship as-is, that's safe and I won't hold the PR for it — but please open an issue rather than leaving it in this thread, because CI cannot see it and the largest batch under test is two rows.
`_encode` sent every text to one `session.run`, and neither caller pages: `index_schema` embeds every record from `extract_schema_items` at once and `_prepare_query_records` every NL query. Batch size was therefore the size of the manifest, with no upper bound. The backend this replaces does not behave that way. lancedb's adapter calls `encode(...)` without `batch_size`, and `SentenceTransformer.encode` defaults to 32, so peak memory there is bounded by 32 rows regardless of manifest size. The same `MemoryStore` call went from O(1) to O(n) in peak memory purely by switching backend -- on the extra whose users are most likely to be under a container memory limit. Chunk at 32. Mean pooling and L2 normalization are per-row, so the vectors are unchanged and the parity gate covers the backend as-is. Chunking also confines `enable_padding()` to each chunk, so one verbose column description no longer pads the whole manifest to its length.
…mand Three failures could reach a user as a traceback or as the wrong message: - A repo with no ONNX export. `resolve_embedding_backend()` picks onnx on importability alone, so a `WREN_EMBEDDING_MODEL` that works under sentence-transformers lands on `_hf_file(repo, "onnx/model.onnx")` and surfaces as a 404 traceback -- while sentence-transformers is installed and able to serve the request. Now `MissingOnnxExportError`, naming the override. Not falling back automatically: a network blip and a repo with no export both arrive as `OSError`, and quietly loading torch on a bad connection is the outcome this extra exists to avoid. - A corrupt `1_Pooling/config.json`. `_read_json` caught `OSError` but not `json.JSONDecodeError`, which is a `ValueError` -- so it resurfaced under "Malformed manifest:". Returning None would be worse: `_require_mean_pooling` reads that as "no pooling config" and waves a CLS-pooled model through. - The pooling guard's message only reached `wren memory index`. `store` and `recall` also embed and caught nothing. `UnsupportedPoolingError` and `MissingOnnxExportError` now share an `OnnxBackendError` base -- still a RuntimeError, so the `index` handler keeps its ordering against the `ValueError`/manifest branch -- and one `_report_backend_errors()` context manager covers all three commands. `watch` is deliberately untouched: `watch.py:126` catches `Exception`, so it never tracebacked. What it does instead is retry a permanent misconfiguration every poll while `on_event` drops the reason -- a `watch_loop` reporting gap, not an embedding one.
Every other extra has its own `pip install 'wrenai[...]'` line, and §6 is the memory walkthrough -- but memory-onnx was discoverable only by reading pyproject.toml. Adds the install line and a note in §6 that it emits the same vectors (so existing indexes stay valid), that onnx wins when both are present, and how to override.

Round 2. Two things before I approve, plus a correction of mine. I re-ran your claims rather than taking them: the new test file against 1.
|
`test_a_repo_without_an_onnx_export_names_the_way_out` is the only new test that enters the real `_runtime`; the others replace it wholesale. `_runtime` imports onnxruntime at embeddings.py:296 before reaching the stubbed `_hf_file`, so the test fails with ModuleNotFoundError under the `memory` job, which installs sentence-transformers only. Gated the way `TestOnnxVectorParity` gates itself. Reproduced the failure first in a `uv sync --locked --extra memory` venv -- verifying with both extras installed is the one configuration that hides it, which is how it shipped.
Two remaining paths where an onnx backend failure did not reach the user correctly. Both are the same class -- a failure the user could act on, arriving as something else. **Wrong destination.** `15498ff` wrapped three call sites, and `fetch` was not among them: it embeds via `get_context` -> `_search_schema` once the schema is above the character threshold, and it is the second command in README section 6. `index`'s `load_queries` was outside the wrapper too. Wrapping the fourth site would leave the same gap for the fifth, and the test matrix could only ever enumerate what already existed. Handling it on `_MemoryGroup.invoke` instead means a new command inherits the behaviour rather than having to remember it; the three call-site wrappers are gone, so this is a net simplification. Scoped to `OnnxBackendError` rather than `RuntimeError` because `typer.Exit` subclasses `RuntimeError` -- the wider catch would rewrite every exit code in the sub-app to 1, and there is a test holding that line. **Wrong classification.** `_read_json` reported every `OSError` as "file absent". Only a remote 404 means that. A cache miss that could not be checked online, a rate limit or a dropped connection are "presence unknown" -- and `_require_mean_pooling` reads absent as "assume mean pooling", so a network blip would wave a CLS-pooled model through with quietly wrong vectors. That is the same hole the corrupt-JSON fix closed, reached from a third direction. `_max_seq_length` deliberately still degrades to the default: an ONNX-native mirror legitimately ships no `sentence_bert_config.json`, and getting the length wrong costs recall where getting the pooling wrong corrupts the index. Verified in all three CI venv shapes rather than only the one with both extras installed.

Both fixed, in 1. The red test is mine, and so is the reason it got throughYou diagnosed it exactly: I verified with both extras installed, which is the one configuration that hides it. I reproduced it in a The process fix matters more than the one-liner, so I've changed how I verify: every number below comes from three venvs built to match the three CI jobs, not from mine. That immediately paid for itself — my new 2.

Round 3. Two things, both about the same call: what an 1. Raise the floor to
|
`0e8162b` taught `_read_json` to tell a remote 404 from a hub it could not
reach, and left the identical conflation forty lines below in `_runtime`: any
`OSError` became `MissingOnnxExportError`, so a rate limit or a dropped
connection told the user that a repo which does publish an ONNX export does
not, and pointed them at switching backends instead of retrying. The test
could not see it -- it raised a bare `OSError("404 Client Error")`, which is
indistinguishable from a connection error.
The discrimination is now one function, `_is_absent_from_repo`, used by both
sites; having it written twice is what let the two drift. `_runtime` raises
`MissingOnnxExportError` only on a 404 and a plain `OnnxBackendError` naming
retry otherwise. The old test is split into the two cases it conflated, with
real huggingface_hub error types rather than a bare OSError.
Also raises the huggingface-hub floor from 0.23 to 0.25. `EntryNotFoundError`
and `LocalEntryNotFoundError` only moved into `huggingface_hub.errors` in
0.25 -- verified by reading the 0.23.0, 0.24.0 and 0.25.0 wheels, where the
first two carry them in `utils/_errors.py` instead. Both call sites import
them inside an `except OSError` handler, so on a version the PR claimed to
support the ImportError would replace the error being classified. No CI job
can reach it because the lock pins 1.8; `pip install 'wrenai[memory-onnx]'`
into an environment holding an older hub can. A test reads the declared pin
from pyproject.toml so the floor cannot be lowered back without failing.

Both fixed in 1. The hub floor — you're right, and my reasoning stopped exactly where you saidI read the wheels rather than take the version claim: So on a version the PR declared support for, both call sites raise Bumped to Added a test that reads the declared pin out of 2.

No rush on #2724 — the terminal-set question there is a real design call and I would rather have your answer than guess at it.

Closes #2643.
Why
wrenai[memory]pulls sentence-transformers and therefore torch. Resolving that extra forlinux-x86_64produces torch, triton and sixteennvidia-*packages — verified withuv pip compile --python-platform x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. As the issue notes, an extra cannot pin a package index, so there is no way to say "torch, but the CPU wheel" from insidepyproject.toml.What
A
wrenai[memory-onnx]extra — lancedb, onnxruntime, tokenizers — as an alternative tomemoryrather than an addition, selected at runtime withWREN_EMBEDDING_BACKEND=onnx|sentence-transformersand defaulting to onnx when it is importable. It is deliberately excluded fromall, which keeps installing the sentence-transformers backend.The weights are the ONNX export published in the same HF repo as the torch weights (
onnx/model.onnx), so nothing is re-exported or converted, and the existing local-first HF cache resolution carries over unchanged. The backend reproduces the sentence-transformers pipeline: tokenize to the model'smax_seq_length, encode, attention-masked mean pooling, L2 normalize.It slots in behind the existing abstraction —
MemoryStoreonly ever callscompute_source_embeddings/compute_query_embeddings, so it is untouched.Evaluation
Against the questions the issue asked:
linux-x86_64resolutionnvidia-*Retrieval parity. Worst-case cosine between the two backends is
1.00000000, max absolute delta6.11e-07— float32 rounding — over English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean inputs. The vectors are equal, not merely close, so existing LanceDB tables need no reindex. End-to-end recall against a real store resolves cross-lingual queries correctly (哪些客戶花最多錢→top customers by net spend).Weights and caching.
hf_hub_download(..., local_files_only=True)first, falling back to an online fetch onLocalEntryNotFoundError— the same local-first shape, and the sameOSErrorbranch, as the sentence-transformers adapter.Platform coverage. onnxruntime publishes wheels for linux/macOS/Windows on x86_64 and arm64. Verified locally on macOS arm64; the new CI job covers linux-x86_64.
Two things that would have degraded silently
Normalization. LanceDB's
SentenceTransformerEmbeddingsdefaults tonormalize=Trueand the existing adapter does not override it, so every vector already in a store is L2-normalized. My first implementation skipped this and the parity test caught it. Unnormalized output would have left old and new rows on different scales and skewed distance ranking — while still looking fine in any cosine-based smoke test, because cosine is scale-invariant.Pooling mode. Only mean pooling is implemented. A CLS-pooled model would still yield a 384-vector, so
1_Pooling/config.jsonis checked and anything else raises instead of being indexed with quietly wrong vectors.What the change requires
Two edits outside the issue's text that the feature does not work without, flagging them so they are not mistaken for drive-by changes:
_extra_available()inindex_backend.pytested forsentence_transformersby name, so amemory-onnxinstall would have been silently downgraded to the Grep backend — the extra would have done nothing.get_embedding_function, which now dispatches to onnx when both extras are installed. Left alone they exercise the wrong backend, and the concurrency one hangs waiting on a fake model that is never constructed. They build the adapter directly now.TestLocalFirstEmbeddingsalso needed itsimportorskipmoved into an autouse fixture — it monkeypatchessentence_transformersby string, which imports the module before an in-body skip can fire.Also included — happy to split these out
WrenMemorysuites gated onsentence_transformers, so they skipped wholesale undermemory-onnx— exactly where running them proves something. Regated on either backend: 53 skips become 104 executed tests on an onnx-only install.memory-onnx, asserting torch is absent, and running the memory suite. Without it nothing would notice torch creeping back into the resolution. This is the one piece that stands alone cleanly; note that dropping 3 as well would leave it running very little.Verification
