# list_models

> Enumerate available model architectures

Returns a list of all available model architectures based on config files. These are the built-in model configurations that can be used with `create_model`.

## Signature

```python theme={null}
def list_models() -> list:
    ...
```

## Parameters

This function takes no parameters.

## Returns

<ResponseField name="models" type="list">
  List of available model architecture names (strings). Each name corresponds to a model configuration that can be loaded.
</ResponseField>

## Example

```python theme={null}
import open_clip

# Get all available model architectures
models = open_clip.list_models()
print(f"Total models available: {len(models)}")
print(f"First 10 models: {models[:10]}")

# Check if a specific model is available
if 'ViT-B-32' in models:
    print("ViT-B-32 is available")

# Filter models by pattern
vit_models = [m for m in models if 'ViT' in m]
print(f"ViT models: {vit_models}")

resnet_models = [m for m in models if 'RN' in m]
print(f"ResNet models: {resnet_models}")

siglip_models = [m for m in models if 'SigLIP' in m]
print(f"SigLIP models: {siglip_models}")
```

## Common Model Architectures

* **Vision Transformers**: `ViT-B-32`, `ViT-B-16`, `ViT-L-14`, `ViT-L-14-336`, `ViT-H-14`, `ViT-g-14`, `ViT-bigG-14`
* **ResNet**: `RN50`, `RN101`, `RN50x4`, `RN50x16`, `RN50x64`
* **ConvNeXt**: `convnext_base`, `convnext_base_w`, `convnext_large_d`, `convnext_xxlarge`
* **SigLIP**: `ViT-B-16-SigLIP`, `ViT-L-16-SigLIP-256`, `ViT-SO400M-14-SigLIP-384`
* **EVA**: `EVA01-g-14`, `EVA02-B-16`, `EVA02-L-14`, `EVA02-E-14`
* **CoCa**: `coca_ViT-B-32`, `coca_ViT-L-14`
* **Multilingual**: `roberta-ViT-B-32`, `xlm-roberta-base-ViT-B-32`, `xlm-roberta-large-ViT-H-14`
