Global model v4.1
- New default global model: accuracy improvements over the previous generation.
model_idis optional: omit it and your request routes to the current default global model. - Retired model ids now return
422: a request naming a model we no longer serve gets a422identifying the model, instead of a server error. CallGET /v1/prediction/modelsfor the ids currently available, and prefer reading the id from there over hardcoding one. - Model serving status:
GET /v1/prediction/modelsnow returns astatusfield (ready,down, orunknown) per model.
