Model
Learn what a model is on WriftAI and how it is identified, stored, and shared
What Is a Model?
A model on WriftAI is a named AI resource that your applications can call.
It represents a capability—like image upscaling, text generation, or audio transcription.
Think of it like GitHub
A model is similar to a GitHub repository: it has an owner, a name, and evolves through multiple versions over time.
How Models Are Identified
Each model has a stable identifier in the format: owner/name
Examples:
john/image-upscaleralice/text-gen
This identifier:
- Appears in the Web Interface and API
- Is shared when you want others to use your model
What a Model Contains
A model stores:
- Visibility — who can access it
- Versions — runnable snapshots of the model
- Metadata — optional description, usage info, etc.
Visibility
Models can be:
| Visibility | Who can see/use it |
|---|---|
| Public | Anyone can see, use and download this model. |
| Restricted | Anyone can see and use this model in the cloud. Only the owner can download it. |
| Private | Only the owner can see, use and download this model. |
This lets you choose whether a model is experimental, internal, or published for others to use, including proprietary models.
