When your command is run inside ArcMap (should work in ArcCatalog and other applications as well):

 var arcToolBoxExtension = _app.FindExtensionByName("ESRI ArcToolbox") as IArcToolboxExtension; if (arcToolBoxExtension != null) { var arcToolBox = arcToolBoxExtension.ArcToolbox; var gpTool = arcToolBox.GetToolbyNameString("MyModelName"); if (gpTool != null) arcToolBox.EditToolSource(gpTool); }

Where _app is an IApplication reference, and "MyModelName" is the Name of your model. Note that the Name is different from the model's Label - you can find both in the tool's properties on the General tab as shown below:
