Anubhav Singh

Anubhav Singh, a web developer since before Bootstrap was launched, is an explorer of technologies, often pulling off crazy combinations of uncommon tech. An international rank holder in the Cyber Olympiad, he started off by developing his own social network and search engine as his first projects at the age of 15, which stood among the top 500 websites of India during their operational years. He's continuously developing software for the community in domains with roads less walked on. You can often catch him guiding students on how to approach ML or the web, or both together. He's also the founder of The Code Foundation, an AI-focused start-up. Anubhav is a Venkat Panchapakesan Memorial Scholarship awardee and an Intel Software Innovator.

The importance of using APIs

Besides saving you a lot of effort in creating and deploying your own deep learning model when you need a quick production or a minimal working product demo, APIs can provide several benefits, such as these:

  • A standard, stable model:
    • APIs for deep learning are often created by an entire group of developers working together on industry-standard technology and research tools that may not be available to all developers. Also, the models deployed through commercial APIs are often very stable to use and provide state-of-the-art features, including scalability, customization, and accuracy. So, if you're facing accuracy issues, which is a common situation in the production of deep learning models, choosing an API is a good choice.
  • High-performance models:
    • Commercial deep learning APIs often run on very powerful servers and are optimized to a great...
