Beginner looking for advice on Flask + machine learning

I want to do a personal project, creating a Flask website that uses Nvidia's StyleGAN2 to generate some faces. I'm learning Flask because I'm familiar with deploying machine learning models in Python, so I figured a flexible Python microframework would be best.

The problem I'm facing is that StyleGAN2 requires GPU to run, and I'm using a Macbook without a discrete GPU (it uses Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 1536 MB). I'm very comfortable with machine learning in Python using Google Collab, which provides GPU services, but I don't know how to host a website and access GPU to run ML models. Would AWS/Azure work well, and if so, which would allow me to easily leverage GPU in the cloud to host a website? Do I need to learn/use Docker?

I'm not super familiar with web development, so any input whatsoever would be appreciated :)

[R] Measuring Massive Multitask Language Understanding; a new test consisting of 14,080 questions given to GPT-3 (4 model sizes), UnifiedQA, and T5

[https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03300](https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03300)

Abstract:

>We propose a new test to measure a text model's multitask accuracy. The test covers 57 tasks including elementary mathematics, US history, computer science, law, and more. To attain high accuracy on this test, models must possess extensive world knowledge and problem solving ability. We find that while most recent models have near random-chance accuracy, the very largest GPT-3 model improves over random chance by almost 20 percentage points on average. However, on every one of the 57 tasks, the best models still need substantial improvements before they can reach human-level accuracy. Models also have lopsided performance and frequently do not know when they are wrong. Worse, they still have near-random accuracy on some socially important subjects such as morality and law. By comprehensively evaluating the breadth and depth of a model's academic and professional understanding, our test can be used to analyze models across many tasks and to identify important shortcomings.

Running a Machine Learning Model in Django.

I am using Django REST Framework to run my ML model, in the views class. My model runs everytime a post request is made. Is there any better place to run the model? Some way to preload the model or do it in the background?

What's expected from a Junior/Mid/Senior Django developer?

This is a question I have in mind because I've not been put in an enterprise-grade work before. I've lots of experience tampering around myself in lots of things, I find myself knowing many things in the technologies I use that mid-seniors don't know (but I can't work in a team...etc). I can't judge my skills from my own perspective. I need someone to help me judge what's the perfect level of a job for me to apply to or how to know that. I've been in programming for more than 5 years, but only 1 in Django, I worked 2 years as a freelancer, but my CV is still empty except probably the skills section and some personal projects.

Real life examples of using Flask for data container (register, information management), machine learning/analytical pipeline?

I need real life examples which I can refer to as an example were Flask is used. I am interested in cases were Flask is used for:

1. As data container (register, information management system; some system where data is entered and retrieved on demand).

2. Machine learning/analytical pipeline.

Django TalkTo: Seamlessly use Django without DB

I just developed a django app that allows you to talk to a REST API using the django modules. I called it Django TalkTo. It allows you to literally use django in a "djangoic" way without a database

You can check it out at

https://github.com/sirrobot01/djangotalkto


Note: It is still in developmental stage. Opinions are welcome on how to improve it.

Thanks

Hired to a new intern position! Thank you all

Hey everyone! I am an electrical engineer student who is an intern at an engineering company but had a really boring business position. I didnt like my position at all since it was just making reports by copying and pasting. I didn’t know how to code, but I was interested in learning python. So I decided maybe I could make a project of automating those tedious reports so that I didn’t have to do it.
Over a month ago I asked if it was possible to automate the really boring stuff I have to do for my job since it was just super boring. Some of you guys suggested I learned to use pandas. I decided to take up my free time to learn python and study up on pandas. I finally finished creating a program where it automates all the reports instantly, saving about five hours per report.
My manager was really impressed and showed his manager. I was able to move position into a hardware engineer intern, where I can still continue to better my coding skills as well as do what I want to do as an engineer! Thank you all for your help!

adding sqlalchemy database from separate python file

Can anyone tell me how to add a database to a flask web app if I have the model in another file.

I am making a web app for a file management system.

I have made a models.py file where I have written the code for all the tables and relationships and now I have to call it in my main.py file where I have declared the flask app .

Can anybody tell me how to do it ?
