Hugging Face Spaces
Hugging Face Spaces is a hosting platform for interactive machine learning applications. Developers build demos and tools using Gradio or Streamlit, then deploy them on Hugging Face infrastructure and receive a public URL. Spaces are free to run on shared CPU instances and can be upgraded to GPU-backed hardware for workloads that need faster inference. They are widely used during hackathons and AI events to share working prototypes without managing any server infrastructure.

Start building with Hugging Face Spaces
Spaces is the quickest path from a working model to a shareable demo. Connect a model from the Hub, wrap it in a Gradio interface, and push to a Space — the application goes live with a public URL in minutes. GPU instances are available on an hourly basis for workloads that need real compute. During hackathons on lablab.ai, submitting a Hugging Face Space link is a standard way to present a working project. Spaces created under an event's Hugging Face organization are publicly discoverable, and community members can vote with likes. Explore examples at Hugging Face Use Cases and Applications.

Key Features
Instant deployment Push a Gradio or Streamlit app to a Space repository and get a live URL without any server configuration or DevOps setup.
GPU hardware tiers Upgrade to T4, A10G, A100, or H100 instances for workloads that need GPU acceleration. Pricing is hourly with no long-term commitment.
Organization Spaces Create Spaces under a team or event organization so project submissions stay grouped and discoverable by judges and community members.
Persistent storage Attach a storage volume to a Space for stateful applications that need to read or write files between requests.
Community discovery Spaces are publicly indexed on Hugging Face and sortable by likes, making them a practical way to share and showcase AI projects.
