models

Definition

The plural of model: systems whose parameters encode regularities extracted from data. In titles it usually names a family — vision-language models, diffusion models — rather than one specific artifact. Note that the word covers both a concrete set of trained weights you can load and run, and the architecture that defines its shape; which sense is meant is normally clear from context.
