Response

200 with a JSON string, e.g. "Model fast-large-v3 successfully loaded." or "Ultra model is loaded on demand."

WARNING
An unknown model_name does not raise. With a valid backend it returns 200 and a plain-string body describing the mistake. Check the body, not just the status code. Warming is per worker process; a pod with multiple workers may still be cold on the worker that serves your next request.
