# Get Model

`GET /v1/models/{model_id}`

Get information about a specific model.

Returns detailed information about a specific model by ID.
The model must be available to your API key's configured providers.

Args:
    model_id: The ID of the model to retrieve (e.g., 'gpt-4', 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022')
    user: Authenticated user obtained from API key validation

Returns:
    Model: Information about the requested model

Raises:
    HTTPException:
        - 401 if authentication fails
        - 404 if model not found or not accessible with current API key
        - 500 if internal error occurs

Requires:
    Valid API key with 'read' scope permission

Example:
    ```python
    import dedalus_labs

    client = dedalus_labs.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
    model = client.models.retrieve("gpt-4")

    print(f"Model: {model.id}")
    print(f"Owner: {model.owned_by}")
    ```

    Response:
    ```json
    {
        "id": "gpt-4",
        "object": "model",
        "created": 1687882411,

Successful Response

- Model — Model information compatible with OpenAI API. Represents a language model available through the Dedalus API. Models are aggregated from multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and made available through a unified interface. Attributes: id: Unique model identifier (e.g., 'gpt-4', 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022') object: Always 'model' for compatibility with OpenAI API created: Unix timestamp when model was created (may be None) owned_by: Provider organization that owns the model root: Base model identifier if this is a fine-tuned variant parent: Parent model identifier for hierarchical relationships permission: Access permissions (reserved for future use) Example: { "id": "gpt-4", "object": "model", "created": 1687882411, "owned_by": "openai" }
