Model {deployment.model_info.id} not found in database

Error message

Model {deployment.model_info.id} not found in database

What it means

The deployment referenced by the tag (deployment.model_info.id) has no row in the LiteLLM_ProxyModelTable; the tag cannot be attached to a model the DB does not know, so a 404 naming the model id is raised.
