        model:

        Parameters
        ----------
        iteration_cb: () -> Bool
            By default, InternalSolver makes a single call to the native `solve`
            method and returns the result. If an iteration callback is provided
            instead, InternalSolver enters a loop, where `solve` and `iteration_cb`
            are called alternatively. To stop the loop, `iteration_cb` should
            return False. Any other result causes the solver to loop again.
