watsonx.ai removed ibm/granite-3-3-8b-instruct, so every test that built a WatsonxLLMClient with it failed at ModelInference init (5 failures, 4 setup errors in CI). Switch tests, examples and docs to meta-llama/llama-3-3-70b-instruct, which is in the supported list and already used by the rest of the test suite.

mistralai/mistral-medium-2505 is no longer entitled on watsonx.ai, so the build_time tests failed at client init (3 failures + 1 collection error). Switch to mistralai/mistral-small-3-1-24b-instruct-2503, which is in the supported model list. Applied to tests, examples and docs. Full suite now passes locally against live watsonx: 359 passed, 8 skipped. Signed-off-by: Osher-Elhadad <Osher.Elhadad@ibm.com>

Problem
CI test job fails with 5 failures + 4 setup errors, all one root cause:
watsonx.ai removed
ibm/granite-3-3-8b-instruct. Every test that builds aWatsonxLLMClientwith it dies at client init. Unrelated to any recent code change.Fix
Swap the model id to
meta-llama/llama-3-3-70b-instruct— it is in the supportedlist and is already the model the rest of the test suite uses (sparc, post_tool,
pre_response). Same swap applied to the examples and docs that carried the dead id.
Affected tests:
test_topic_extractor_chroma.py(5 failures)test_follow_up.py/test_wx_orchestrate.py(4 setup errors viaconftest.pyfixture)
