However, I would like to use the API to use a specific model. Is that possible?  [v0.app](https://v0.app/docs/api/platform/reference/chats/create)  ### [Create Chat | v0 Docs](https://v0.app/docs/api/platform/reference/chats/create) Creates a new chat using a user message, optional system context, and model configuration. Useful for prompting the model within the scope of a specific project. > **Note:** The `modelId` field is deprecated so it doesn’t work. James (@jamesma) · 2026-03-23 Does a Vercel or v0 staff know the answer to this one? Is it not possible via API for now?
