*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)
ZeroGPU uses _Nvidia A100_ GPU devices under the hood (40GB of vRAM are available for each workloads)

# Compatibility
*ZeroGPU* Spaces should mostly be compatible with any PyTorch-based GPU Space.<br>
Compatibility with high level HF libraries like `transformers` or `diffusers` is slightly more guaranteed<br>
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 works with the **Gradio SDK**
Supported versions:
- Gradio: 4+
- PyTorch: All versions from `2.0.0` to `2.2.0`
- Python: `3.10.13`
# 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`<br>
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.<br>
Here is a practical example :
```diff
+import spaces
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(...)
pipe.to('cuda')
+@spaces.GPU
def generate(prompt):
return pipe(prompt).images
gr.Interface(
fn=generate,
inputs=gr.Text(),
outputs=gr.Gallery(),
).launch()
```
1. We first `import spaces` (importing it first might prevent some issues but is not mandatory)
2. Then we decorate the `generate` function by adding a `@spaces.GPU` line before its definition
Note that `@spaces.GPU` is effect-free and can be safely used on non-ZeroGPU environments
## Duration
If you expect your GPU function to take more than __60s__ then you need to specify a `duration` param in the decorator like:
```python
@spaces.GPU(duration=120)
def generate(prompt):
return pipe(prompt).images
```
It will set the maximum duration of your function call to 120s.
You can also specify a duration if you know that your function will take far less than the 60s default.
The lower the duration, the higher priority your Space visitors will have in the queue
