ZeroGPU Spaces

ZeroGPU is a new kind of hardware for Spaces.

It has two goals :

Provide free GPU access for Spaces
Allow Spaces to run on multiple GPUs

This is achieved by making Spaces efficiently hold and release GPUs as needed (as opposed to a classical GPU Space that holds exactly one GPU at any point in time)

Compatibility

ZeroGPU Spaces should mostly be compatible with any PyTorch-based GPU Space.
Compatibilty with high level HF libraries like transformers or diffusers is slightly more guaranteed
That said, ZeroGPU Spaces are not as broadly compatible as classical GPU Spaces and you might still encounter unexpected bugs

Also, for now, ZeroGPU Spaces only work with the Gradio SDK

Usage

In order to make your Space work with ZeroGPU you need to decorate the Python functions that actually require a GPU with @spaces.GPU
During the time when a decorated function is invoked, the Space will be attributed a GPU, and it will release it upon completion of the function.
Here is a practical example :

+import spaces
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(...)
pipe.to('cuda')

[email protected]
def generate(prompt):
    return pipe(prompt).images

gr.Interface(
    fn=generate,
    inputs=gr.Text(),
    outputs=gr.Gallery(),
).launch()

We first import spaces (importing it first might prevent some issues but is not mandatory)
Then we decorate the generate function by adding a @spaces.GPU line before its definition
