"FastAPI is not perfect for ML serving" Yup. There's a huge amount of work that you need to do to do the whole ML lifecycle, and FastAPI doesn't support that out of the box like a full fledged ML Platform. But you probab

I'm amazed that the authors haven't released any of their data or questions...

Yeah, the people I know who work in veterinary healthcare love animals. Many of them end up burning out because they have to deal with so much animal death.
