Gradio 5 Framework

A Gradio 5 Framework is a Python-based open-source web framework that simplifies the creation of ML-powered web applications.

• Context:
  • It can allow developers to build interactive AI applications using just a few lines of Python code.
  • It can be integrated with the Hugging Face Hub to wrap AI models into functional web apps quickly.
  • It can provide out-of-the-box enterprise-grade security features through an independent audit by Trail of Bits.
  • It can support various components for handling inputs and outputs (including text, audio, and image processing functionalities).
  • It can support full Server-Side Rendering (SSR) to improve performance and lower latency for web applications.
  • It can be utilized in production-ready AI applications while maintaining best practices in security and accessibility.
  • It can include modern UI enhancements like updates to Buttons, Tabs, and ChatInterface components to improve user experience.
  • It can fully support streaming of audio, video, and images as both inputs and outputs through protocols like HTTP Live Streaming.
  • It can provide an experimental AI Playground that allows developers to create Gradio applications through natural language commands.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Flask, a web framework that requires more manual coding for integrating machine learning models into web applications.
  • Streamlit, another tool for building AI applications, but with a different set of components and structure compared to Gradio.
