What is the opposite of baseline?

Question

I have created a prediction model and on the one hand I have to compare it with other baseline models, and on the other hand, I have to compare it with the ideal approach (supported by additional data), so I would like to know how I can call it (antonym of baseline) in the research paper.

Not sure there is such a term, I would just go for:

Perfect model/predictor
Optimal model/predictor

Or as you suggested the ideal model. As long as you clearly define what the term means in your paper you can call it either.
