" How to Deploy a Machine Learning Model Using Flask on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS "

Deploying a machine learning model is a crucial step to making it accessible to end-users. Flask, a lightweight web framework for Python, is popular for deploying machine learning models due to its simplicity and flexibility. When deploying on an Ubuntu 24.04, you can leverage the power of GPUs to accelerate inference, especially for deep learning models.

Flask is a micro web framework written in Python.
