Model Name Hover

Hover a model ID in your code and VS Code tells you what it is.

I kept squinting at strings like claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 in config files trying to remember which vendor and version they were, so this parses them for me.

It works on quoted strings in any language. In YAML, .env, Markdown and a few other plain files it also picks up unquoted IDs. There is one command too, Model Name: Parse Selection, which shows every field for the selected text.

It's string parsing, not a lookup. It doesn't call any API and it doesn't know every model. If it can't work out the vendor, it stays quiet.

The parser is a TypeScript port of my Go package modelname. Most of the test cases are real model IDs from whizi.io/models.
