Team id={model_params.model_info.team_id} does not exist in

Error message

Team id={model_params.model_info.team_id} does not exist in db

What it means

Referential-integrity guard in ModelManagementAuthChecks: model_info carries a team_id (premium feature gating team-scoped models) but no LiteLLM_TeamTable row exists for it in the DB, so the model would reference a phantom team; rejected with 403.
