+## Introduction
+
 Model API is a set of wrapper classes for particular tasks and model architectures, simplifying data preprocess and postprocess as well as routine procedures (model loading, asynchronous execution, etc.). It is aimed at simplifying end-to-end model inference for different deployment scenarios, including local execution and serving. The Model API is based on the OpenVINO inference API.
