FAQ: How do model versions and aliases work?

Use the exact public model ID shown by NexoRouter. Vendor aliases, marketing names, and old model names may not match the ID accepted by the public API.

Safe rule

Use model IDs from Models or GET /v1/models.

Do not copy model names directly from another provider's dashboard unless the same ID appears in NexoRouter Models.

Why names differ

Name typeExample risk
Marketing nameMay omit version, vendor, or suffix.
Upstream aliasMay not be exposed by NexoRouter.
Old screenshotMay refer to a retired or renamed model.
Case-insensitive textThe API model ID is case-sensitive.

Production practice

  • Keep model IDs in config.
  • Review model IDs before rollout.
  • Use one fallback model for non-critical tasks.
  • Monitor Usage Logs for model_not_found.
  • Avoid undocumented aliases in production.
