Hugging Face Spaces is a cloud-hosting platform that allows you to build, host, and share interactive machine learning (ML) demo applications directly on the Hugging Face Hub. It serves as a personal "portfolio" where you can showcase your AI projects to the world without needing to manage your own servers.

Core Features of Spaces
- Ease of Use: You can create a web-based app for your model in just a few minutes using simple Python frameworks.
- Free Hardware: Every user gets basic computing resources for free, including 16 GB of RAM, 2 CPU cores, and 50 GB of non-persistent disk space.
- Collaborative: Like GitHub, Spaces are Git repositories. You can work with teams, track version history, and even "remix" (duplicate and edit) existing Spaces from other creators.
- ZeroGPU: A recent feature that allows apps to automatically scale and access distributed GPU resources on-the-fly for faster performance.
Supported Frameworks (SDKs)
When you create a Space, you choose how you want to build your interface:
- Gradio: The most popular choice; a Python library designed specifically for ML demos with minimal code.
- Streamlit: A framework for building data-rich web applications using Python.
- Docker: For advanced users who want to host custom environments (e.g., using Node.js, Go, or custom Python setups).
- Static HTML: For simple frontend-only demos using JavaScript and HTML.
