Bootstrapping AI Apps with Gradio and ZeroGPU

From the creator

In this video we'll "bootstrap" (create out of nothing) a fully-functioning AI application with Gradio and Hugging Face's ZeroGPU spaces. The application will be free to build and take less than 5 minutes and 100 lines of code! We will build a Compliment Bot - users upload a photo of themselves or their friends and the bot will say something nice about them! The AI models used in this space will be running on Hugging Face's innovative ZeroGPU cluster - a serverless cluster of A100s that is FREE to use. We'll leverage these spaces in our application using the Gradio javascript client. That way, we can bring AI into our applications instantly without having to host or train anything ourselves.

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
