# Get information about foundation models
<a name="models-get-info"></a>

In the Amazon Bedrock console, you can find overarching information about Amazon Bedrock foundation model providers and the models they provide in the **Providers** and **Base models** sections.

Use the API to retrieve information about Amazon Bedrock foundation model, including its ARN, model ID, modalities and features it supports, and whether it is deprecated or not, in a [FoundationModelSummary](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_FoundationModelSummary.html) object.
+ To return information about all the foundation models that Amazon Bedrock provides, send a [ListFoundationModels](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_ListFoundationModels.html) request.
**Note**  
The response also returns model IDs that aren't in the [base model ID](models-supported.md) or base model IDs for Provisioned Throughput charts. These model IDs are deprecated or for backwards compability.
+ To return information about a specific foundation model, send a [GetFoundationModel](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_GetFoundationModel.html) request, specifying the [model ID](models-supported.md).
