Proposed fix: [TEI] Wrong endpoint for the loaded model type: "Model is not an embedding model" (/embed on a reranker) / "model is not a re-ranker model" (/rerank on an embedder)
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Run separate TEI containers for the embedding model and the reranker (e.g. BAAI/bge-reranker-*) and point each client at the right one; use /embed_sparse only with SPLADE (ForMaskedLM) models launched with --pooling splade.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
