/**
 * Base interface for defining model-specific parameters used to configure remote inference clients.
 *
 * <p>Implementations of this interface encapsulate all configuration needed to initialize and
 * communicate with a remote model inference service. This typically includes:
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Authentication credentials (API keys, tokens)
 *   <li>Model identifiers or names
 *   <li>Endpoint URLs or connection settings
 *   <li>Inference configuration (temperature, max tokens, timeout values, etc.)
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Parameters must be serializable. Consider using the builder pattern for complex parameter
 * objects.
