+* When creating an {infer} endpoint, the associated {ml} model is automatically deployed if it is not already running.
 * After creating the endpoint, wait for the model deployment to complete before using it. You can verify the deployment status by using the <<get-trained-models-stats, Get trained model statistics>> API. In the response, look for `"state": "fully_allocated"` and ensure the `"allocation_count"` matches the `"target_allocation_count"`.
 * Avoid creating multiple endpoints for the same model unless required, as each endpoint consumes significant resources.
