In the article, we will deploy Google T5 model as a REST API service. Difficult? What about I’ll tell you: you just need to write 7 lines of codes?

**HuggingFace** makes it easy to use the pretrained model with just several lines.

**Pinferencia** makes it super easy to serve any model with just three extra lines.
