Creating a Model

This guide walks you through creating a new model in Bailo, from the initial setup through to selecting a schema and filling in the model card.

Common questions this page answers:

How do I create a new model in Bailo?

What entry types are available?

How do I choose between public and private visibility?

Choosing an entry type

Bailo supports four entry types. Select the one that matches your use case.

Click the + Create button in the navigation bar. You'll see the available entry types:

Model - A standard machine learning model with full lifecycle management
Mirrored Model - A read-only copy of a model from an external source (see Model Mirroring)
Untrusted Model - A model requiring additional scrutiny (if enabled - see Untrusted Models)
Data Card - Documentation for a dataset (see Creating a Data Card)

Select Model to create a standard model.

Basic details

Every model requires a name, description, and visibility setting:

Name - a clear, descriptive name for your model
Description - what the model does and its intended use
Visibility - choose Public (visible in the Marketplace) or Private (visible only to collaborators)

Public models are visible to all users. Private models are only visible to users with the appropriate permissions, configured in the model settings.

The screenshot above shows the marketplace with the model creation button.

Selecting a schema

The schema determines the structure of your model card - the questions you will answer about your model.

After creating the model, you must select a schema. You have two options:

Create from schema - select a schema from the available list and start with a blank form
Create from template - copy the model card structure and content from an existing model (see Model Templating)

The model card captures important information such as:

Intended use
Training and evaluation details
Performance metrics
Known limitations or biases

Next steps

After creating a model and selecting a schema:

Fill in the model card - document your model
Upload files - add model artefacts
Create a release - version your model for distribution

Changing the model name or description

To update the model name or description after creation:

Open the model
Navigate to Settings
Edit the Name and/or Description fields
