Make ds a parameter of the model
model = (2-ds)*(a1*Exp[m]+b1)+(ds-1)*(a2*Exp[m]+b2);
model /. {{ds -> 1}, {ds -> 2}}
{E^m*a1 + b1, E^m*a2 + b2}
model = (2-ds)*(3-ds)*(a1*Exp[m]+b1)/
2+(ds-1)*(3-ds)*(a2*Exp[m]+b2) + (ds-1)*(ds-2)*(a3*Exp[m]+b3)/2;
model /. {{ds -> 1}, {ds -> 2}, {ds -> 3}}
{E^m*a1 + b1, E^m*a2 + b2,
E^m*a3 + b3}
