Bug Report: Unit Test Failure in tests/models/embedding/vision_language/test_phi3v.py

Environment Information

We are using the following environment to run the unit tests:

Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (x86_64)
Python Version: 3.12.9 (packaged by Anaconda, Inc.)
PyTorch Version: 2.5.1+cu124
CUDA Version: 12.4
Nvidia Driver Version: 550.127.05
cuDNN Version: 9.1.0.70
Transformers Version: 4.49.0
Triton Version: 3.1.0
Vector Quantize PyTorch Version: 1.21.2

Bug Description

The unit test tests/models/embedding/vision_language/test_phi3v.py is failing when running the test case test_models_image[half-TIGER-Lab/VLM2Vec-Full]. The test case is checking the embeddings generated by the Phi-3.5-vision-instruct model using the vllm library.

**Troubleshooting Steps**

To troubleshoot this issue, we can try the following steps:

1. **Check the model weights**: Make sure that the model weights are correctly loaded and that there are no issues with the model architecture.
2. **Verify the input data**: Check that the input data is correctly formatted and that there are no issues with the data preprocessing.
3. **Check the cosine similarity calculation**: Verify that the cosine similarity calculation is correct and that there are no issues with the implementation.
4. **Check the tolerance value**: Verify that the tolerance value is correctly set and that there are no issues with the comparison.

**Additional Information**

* **vllm version**: 0.1.dev5072+g63d635d
* **Transformers version**: 4.49.0
* **Triton version**: 3.1.0
* **Vector Quantize PyTorch version**: 1.21.2
