Function: toModelDisplayName()

toModelDisplayName(name, provided?): string

Derive a human-readable display name for a serving endpoint.

When provided is a non-blank string (a Databricks display-name tag or external-model name), it wins verbatim (trimmed). Otherwise the endpoint name is humanized: leading vendor prefixes (databricks, the system.ai namespace, dbx) are dropped, then each -/_/.-separated segment is title-cased (acronyms like GPT/GTE/BGE uppercased, “AI” kept), runs of purely-numeric segments are joined into a dotted version (...-4-6 -> “4.6”), and a size unit glued to its number (120b -> “120B”). Falls back to the trimmed raw name if stripping leaves nothing.
