# model

## Model

Immutable representation of a model from an integration provider.

Models are associated with specific providers (OpenAI, Azure, Bedrock, etc.)
and represent available LLM models that can be used in experiments and logging.

The Model class is immutable once created and serializes to a string (model alias)
when used in API calls or function parameters.

**Examples**

```python theme={null}
# Create a model from a provider
openai_provider = Integration.create_openai(token="sk-...")
models = openai_provider.models
model = models[0]

# Use model in experiment (serializes to string)
experiment = Experiment(
    name="test",
    dataset_name="dataset",
    prompt_name="prompt",
    project_name="project",
    model=model  # Automatically converts to string alias
)

# Model is immutable
model.alias = "new-value"  # Raises AttributeError
```

### alias

```python theme={null}
def alias(self) -> str
```

Get the model alias.

### name

```python theme={null}
def name(self) -> str
```

Get the model name.

### provider\_name

```python theme={null}
def provider_name(self) -> str
```

Get the provider name.

### to\_dict

```python theme={null}
def to_dict(self) -> dict[str, Any]
```

Convert model to dictionary representation.

## Returns

dict: Dictionary with model properties.
