Model information

thinking

object

Thinking controls advertised by a model. Models without thinking metadata omit this field.

Show child attributes

parameters

string

Model parameter settings serialized as text

license

string

The license of the model

modified_at

string

Last modified timestamp in ISO 8601 format

details

object

High-level model details

template

string

The template used by the model to render prompts

renderer

string

The effective chat renderer of the model (aliases resolved), when one is set

parser

string

The output parser configured on the model, when one is set

template_source

string

Where the chat prompt actually comes from; one of renderer_parser, renderer, parser (a Go renderer runs and any packaged template is inert), harmony, go_template, gguf_chat_template (the runner renders the GGUF's embedded jinja), or none
