Resource: Model
A trained machine learning Model.
name 
 
  string 
 
The resource name of the Model.
versionId 
 
  string 
 
Output only. Immutable. The version id of the model. A new version is committed when a new model version is uploaded or trained under an existing model id. It is an auto-incrementing decimal number in string representation.
versionAliases[] 
 
  string 
 
user provided version aliases so that a model version can be referenced via alias (i.e. projects/{project}/locations/{location}/models/{modelId}@{version_alias} 
instead of auto-generated version id (i.e. projects/{project}/locations/{location}/models/{modelId}@{versionId}) 
. The format is [a-z][a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,126}[a-z0-9] to distinguish from versionId. A default version alias will be created for the first version of the model, and there must be exactly one default version alias for a model.
versionCreateTime 
 
  string (  Timestamp 
 
format) 
 
Output only. timestamp when this version was created.
Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and use 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits. Offsets other than "Z" are also accepted. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" 
, "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z" 
or "2014-10-02T15:01:23+05:30" 
.
versionUpdateTime 
 
  string (  Timestamp 
 
format) 
 
Output only. timestamp when this version was most recently updated.
Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and use 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits. Offsets other than "Z" are also accepted. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z"

  object (  PredictSchemata 
 
) 
 
The schemata that describe formats of the Model's predictions and explanations as given and returned via  PredictionService.Predict 
 
and  PredictionService.Explain 
 
.

) 
 
Output only. The formats in which this Model may be exported. If empty, this Model is not available for export.

, and all binaries it contains are copied and stored internally by Vertex AI. Not required for AutoML Models.
artifactUri 
 
  string 
 
Immutable. The path to the directory containing the Model artifact and any of its supporting files. Not required for AutoML Models.
supportedDeploymentResourcesTypes[] 
 
  enum (  DeploymentResourcesType 
 
) 
 
Output only. When this Model is deployed, its prediction resources are described by the prediction_resources 
field of the  Endpoint.deployed_models 
 
object. Because not all Models support all resource configuration types, the configuration types this Model supports are listed here. If no configuration types are listed, the Model cannot be deployed to an  Endpoint 
 
and does not support online predictions (  PredictionService.Predict 
 
or  PredictionService.Explain 
 
). Such a Model can serve predictions by using a  BatchPredictionJob 
 
, if it has at least one entry each in  supportedInputStorageFormats 
 
and  supportedOutputStorageFormats 
 
.
supportedInputStorageFormats[] 
 
  string 
 
Output only. The formats this Model supports in  BatchPredictionJob.input_config 
 
. If  PredictSchemata.instance_schema_uri 
 
exists, the instances should be given as per that schema.
The possible formats are:
-  jsonlThe JSON Lines format, where each instance is a single line. usesGcsSource.
-  csvThe CSV format, where each instance is a single comma-separated line. The first line in the file is the header, containing comma-separated field names. usesGcsSource.
-  tf-recordThe TFRecord format, where each instance is a single record in tfrecord syntax. usesGcsSource.
-  tf-record-gzipSimilar totf-record, but the file is gzipped. usesGcsSource.
-  bigqueryEach instance is a single row in BigQuery. usesBigQuerySource.
-  file-listEach line of the file is the location of an instance to process, usesgcsSourcefield of theInputConfigobject.
If this Model doesn't support any of these formats it means it cannot be used with a  BatchPredictionJob 
 
. However, if it has  supportedDeploymentResourcesTypes 
 
, it could serve online predictions by using  PredictionService.Predict 
 
or  PredictionService.Explain 
 
.
supportedOutputStorageFormats[] 
 
  string 
 
Output only. The formats this Model supports in  BatchPredictionJob.output_config 
 
. If both  PredictSchemata.instance_schema_uri 
 
and  PredictSchemata.prediction_schema_uri 
 
exist, the predictions are returned together with their instances. In other words, the prediction has the original instance data first, followed by the actual prediction content (as per the schema).
The possible formats are:
-  jsonlThe JSON Lines format, where each prediction is a single line. usesGcsDestination.
-  csvThe CSV format, where each prediction is a single comma-separated line. The first line in the file is the header, containing comma-separated field names. usesGcsDestination.
-  bigqueryEach prediction is a single row in a BigQuery table, usesBigQueryDestination.
If this Model doesn't support any of these formats it means it cannot be used with a  BatchPredictionJob 
 
. However, if it has  supportedDeploymentResourcesTypes 
 
, it could serve online predictions by using  PredictionService.Predict 
 
or  PredictionService.Explain 
 
.

, "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z" 
or "2014-10-02T15:01:23+05:30" 
.

after being  deployed 
 
if it is populated. The Model can be used for  batch explanation 
 
if it is populated.

of  DeployModelRequest.deployed_model 
 
, or  explanationSpec 
 
of  BatchPredictionJob 
 
.

by setting  explanationSpec 
 
of  DeployModelRequest.deployed_model 
 
and for  batch explanation 
 
by setting  explanationSpec 
 
of  BatchPredictionJob
