ItemsModels & CustomModelData
In the new versions of Minecraft they changed things about the CustomModelData and now they are located in the items folder, this allows adding a component in the item to change its model.
Item Model Component
This is a new component added in 1.21.3, but in 1.21.4 it has been modified, is a way to use an item model different from those already created or modifying the existing ones, in this case the component references to assets/<namespace>/items/<id> and would be used as <namespace>:<id>
