Guardado y carga de su modelo

Training can take minutes or hours. Saving the fitted model lets you reuse it instantly, with no need to retrain every time. 💾

Serialization turns your in-memory model into bytes you can write to disk. Loading reverses it back into a working object.

For scikit-learn models, joblib is the recommended tool. It handles the large numpy arrays inside your model efficiently.

Call dump with your fitted pipeline and a filename. That single line writes the entire model to disk.

Later, restore the model with load. You get back the exact same object, ready to predict right away.

Always save the full pipeline, not just the classifier. The vectorizer must travel with it, or new text will not be encoded correctly.

Plain pickle works too, but joblib is faster for the big arrays scikit-learn models contain. Prefer joblib for these models.

A model saved with one scikit-learn version may fail to load on another. Record the library version beside your saved file.

Loading runs code, so a malicious file can harm you. Only load model files from sources you fully trust. ⚠️

Saved models are large binaries. Add the models folder to gitignore and store big files in proper storage instead.

After loading, run a quick prediction on a known example. If the output looks right, your saved model is intact and ready.

Think about which object you must persist to disk.

You used joblib to dump and load the full pipeline, pinned the version, kept models out of git, and verified with a test prediction. 🎉
