## Description

The `models.get()` and `models.create()` methods enable you to get an existing model or create and deploy a new model.

## Syntax

Use the `models.get()` method to get an existing model:

```python
my_model = project.models.get('my_model')
```

Or, the `create()` method to create and train a new model:

```python
my_model = project.models.create (
    name = 'my_model',
    predict = 'target',
    query = my_table
)
```

Please note that in the case of LLM models, the parameters can be stored in `options`. Here is the syntax to create an OpenAI model:

```python
sentiment_classifier = project.models.create (
      name='sentiment_classifier',
      engine='openai', # alternatively: engine=server.ml_engines.openai
      predict='sentiment',
      options={
          'prompt_template':'answer this question: {{questions}}',
          'model_name':'gpt4'
      }
)
```

Alternatively, you can skip `options` and define parameters as arguments.

```python
sentiment_classifier = project.models.create (
      name='sentiment_classifier',
      engine='openai', # alternatively: engine=server.ml_engines.openai
      predict='sentiment',
      prompt_template='answer this question: {{questions}}',
      model_name='gpt4'
)
```

And in the case of time-series model, the additional options are stored in `timeseries_options`. Here is the syntax to create a time-series model:

```sql
ts_model = project.models.create (
     name='time_series_model',
     predict='target',
     query=my_table,
     timeseries_options={
            'order': 'order_date',
            'group': 'category',
            'window': 30,
            'horizon': 4
          }
)
```
