The German BERT model was fine-tuned on the Legal-Entity-Recognition dataset for the named entity recognition (NER) task, achieving an F1 score of 85.67% on the evaluation set. The model uses a pre-trained BERT base model and is trained with a provided script from Hugging Face. The labels covered include various types of legal entities, such as companies, organizations, and individuals.

You can use cURL or any other http client to run inferences:

```bash
curl -X POST \
    -d '{"input": "My name is John Doe and I live in San Francisco."}'  \
    -H "Authorization: bearer $(deepctl auth token)"  \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  \
    'https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/inference/mrm8488/bert-base-german-finetuned-ler'
```

which will give you back something similar to:

```json

  "results": [
    {
      "entity_group": "B-PER",
      "score": 0.9997528195381165,

You can use our command-line tool [deepctl](/docs/getting-started) to run
inferences:

```bash
deepctl infer \
    -m 'mrm8488/bert-base-german-finetuned-ler'  \
    -i 'input=My name is John Doe and I live in San Francisco.'
```

which will give you back something similar to:

```json
{
  "results": [
    {
      "entity_group": "B-PER",
      "score": 0.9997528195381165,
      "word": "John",
      "start": 11,
      "end": 15
    },
    {
      "entity_group": "I-PER",
      "score": 0.9995835423469543,
      "word": "Doe",
      "start": 16,
      "end": 19
    },
    {
      "entity_group": "B-LOC",
      "score": 0.9997485280036926,
      "word": "San",

    {

      "word": "Francisco",
