Usage Notes
模型 is used across a wide range of domains. In AI and machine learning (the most current and prominent use), it refers to trained computational models. In science it refers to mathematical or physical representations. In architecture and product design it refers to scale models.
At B2 level, 模型 is particularly important in the context of AI discourse: 大型语言模型 (large language model, LLM), 模型训练 (model training), and 模型评估 (model evaluation) are standard phrases in Chinese tech journalism and academic writing.
