# Models

[ModelProvider](#data_designer.config.models.ModelProvider) stores connection and authentication details for model providers. [ModelConfig](#data_designer.config.models.ModelConfig) stores a model alias, model identifier, provider settings, and inference parameters. [Inference Parameters](../../concepts/models/inference-parameters.md) control model behavior. Chat-completion parameters include `temperature`, `top_p`, and `max_tokens`; `temperature` and `top_p` can be fixed values or configured distributions. [ImageContext](#data_designer.config.models.ImageContext) provides image inputs to multimodal models, and [ImageInferenceParams](#data_designer.config.models.ImageInferenceParams) configures image generation models.
