Hi,
@api.multi :-
Self will be the current RecordSet without iteration. It is the default behavior:
@api.multi
def afun(self):
len(self)

@api.model:-
This decorator will convert old API calls to decorated function to new API signature. It allows to be polite when migrating code.
@api . model
def  afun ( self ):
pass

Thanks

@api.multi* :-
The decorator in default for methods from new api onwards, which the self contains a recordset. So operations should be done by iterating through the recordsets if it is a set.
eg:
@api.multi
def multi_method(self):
""" """
print self # [model(1,2,3,4)] or [model(1,)*]
* *@api.model :-*
The decorator used on methods where the contents are not relevant. *No ids will get passed with such methods.*
eg:
@api.model
def create(self, vals)
""" """
print self # recordset with no id
