In a previous refactor, we moved the responsibility of querying and storing embeddings into the `Schema` class. Now, it's time for embedding generation.
The motivation behind these changes is to isolate vector characteristics in simple objects to later replace them with a DB-backed version, similar to what we did with LLM configs.
* REFACTOR: A Simpler way of interacting with embeddings' tables.
This change adds a new abstraction called `Schema`, which acts as a repository that supports the same DB features `VectorRepresentation::Base` has, with the exception that removes the need to have duplicated methods per embeddings table.
It is also a bit more flexible when performing a similarity search because you can pass it a block that gives you access to the builder, allowing you to add multiple joins/where conditions.
Splits persona permissions so you can allow a persona on:
- chat dms
- personal messages
- topic mentions
- chat channels
(any combination is allowed)
Previously we did not have this flexibility.
Additionally, adds the ability to "tether" a language model to a persona so it will always be used by the persona. This allows people to use a cheaper language model for one group of people and more expensive one for other people
Embedding search is rate limited due to potentially expensive
hyde operation (which require LLM access).
Embedding generally is very cheap compared to it. (usually 100x cheaper)
This raises the limit to 100 per minute for embedding searches,
while keeping the old 4 per minute for HyDE powered search.
This allows callers of embedding based search to bypass hyde.
Hyde will expand the search term using an LLM, but if an LLM is
performing the search we can skip this expansion.
It also introduced some tests for the controller which we did not have
