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.
