Hello,

I am Yanis LABRAK, the main author of the BioMistral article (huggingface.co/BioMistral), and we are, me and my co-authrors reaching the HF teams today because we are looking for providing a public demonstration of our BioMistral model for a few weeks (three or four) and we definitively think that having a GPU Space to host this demo will be interesting to provide decent inference speed to the community. And we would like to know if Hugging Face would be capable of giving us a free GPU Space to support the initiative ? We are a group of French academic researchers and our financial capabilities are very limited.

PS: We have reach out Katie Link about our need of GPU sponsorship for this Space and she gracefully forward us to this grant application process.

Thank you for the engagement of HF in the NLP community.

Hi @qanastek , we've assigned a10g-small to this Space. As this Space is using HuggingChat template, I assigned a10g-small, but we recently started using ZeroGPU as the default for grants, so it would be nice if you could take a look at the org card of the ZeroGPU explorers org to see if it's possible to make your Space work on ZeroGPU. As ZeroGPU has some limitations, like it's only compatible with gradio 4.x, etc., it's just fine if your Space doesn't work with ZeroGPU, but the underlying hardware of ZeroGPU is now A100 and we can set longer sleep time for ZeroGPU too.
