 ### Embedding stack
 
-- **Model**: `intfloat/multilingual-e5-base` (768d, multilingual DE+EN, ~278 MB ONNX)
-- **Server**: HuggingFace TEI `cpu-1.6` — OpenAI-compatible at `http://tei:80/v1/embeddings`
-- **Auth**: none (internal network only)
-- **Upgrade path**: switch to `mistral/mistral-embed` via Bifrost (1024d, better quality) — requires re-index (drop + recreate Qdrant collections)
+| Service | Model | Dimensions | Use |
+|---------|-------|-----------|-----|
+| **nomic** | `nomic-ai/nomic-embed-text-v1.5` + `nomic-embed-vision-v1.5` | 768d | OWUI RAG, ingest pipeline |
+| **TEI** | `intfloat/multilingual-e5-base` | 768d | Standby; same vector space as nomic text |
+| **Bifrost cache** | `mistral/mistral-embed` via Bifrost | 1024d | Semantic cache only (separate Qdrant collection) |
+
+Both nomic models share a 768d embedding space — text and image queries work on the same `documents` Qdrant collection.

-CT 104 has Intel Core Ultra 7 155H iGPU but no `/dev/dri/render*` device is
-passed through. When passthrough is enabled, switch TEI to the Intel image:

-This uses IPEX and runs ~5–10× faster for embedding batches.
+
+The semantic cache uses a separate Qdrant collection (auto-created) at 1024d — no collision with the `documents` collection at 768d. TTL: 10 min, similarity threshold: 0.85.
+
+## Intel Arc GPU passthrough (enabled)
+
+CT 104 Intel Core Ultra 7 155H iGPU is passed through via PVE `dev3`/`dev4` entries
+(`/dev/dri/renderD128` and `/dev/dri/card1`). No TEI Intel image exists currently — passthrough is available for future inference acceleration.
