Integrations with the Hugging Face Hub

To make your life even easier, Gradio integrates directly with Hugging Face Hub and Hugging Face Spaces. You can load demos from the Hub and Spaces with only one line of code.

###
Loading models from the Hugging Face Hub

To start with, choose one of the thousands of models Hugging Face offers through the Hub, as described in [Chapter 4](/course/chapter4/2).

Using the special `Interface.load()` method, you pass `"model/"` (or, equivalently, `"huggingface/"`) followed by the model name. For example, here is the code to build a demo for GPT-J, a large language model, add a couple of example inputs:

    import gradio as gr

    title = "GPT-J-6B"
    description = "Gradio Demo for GPT-J 6B, a transformer model trained using Ben Wang's Mesh Transformer JAX. 'GPT-J' refers to the class of model, while '6B' represents the number of trainable parameters. To use it, simply add your text, or click one of the examples to load them. Read more at the links below."
    article = "<p style='text-align: center'><a href='https://github.com/kingoflolz/mesh-transformer-jax' target='_blank'>GPT-J-6B: A 6 Billion Parameter Autoregressive Language Model</a></p>"

    gr.Interface.load(
        "huggingface/EleutherAI/gpt-j-6B",
        inputs=gr.Textbox(lines=5, label="Input Text"),
        title=title,
        description=description,
        article=article,
    ).launch()

The code above will produce the interface below:

Loading a model in this way uses Hugging Face’s Inference API, instead of loading the model in memory. This is ideal for huge models like GPT-J or T0pp which require lots of RAM.

###
Loading from Hugging Face Spaces

To load any Space from the Hugging Face Hub and recreate it locally, you can pass `spaces/` to the `Interface`, followed by the name of the Space.

Remember the demo from section 1 that removes the background of an image? Let’s load it from Hugging Face Spaces:

    gr.Interface.load("spaces/abidlabs/remove-bg").launch()

One of the cool things about loading demos from the Hub or Spaces is that you customize them by overriding any of the parameters. Here, we add a title and get it to work with a webcam instead:

    gr.Interface.load(
        "spaces/abidlabs/remove-bg", inputs="webcam", title="Remove your webcam background!"
    ).launch()

Now that we’ve explored a few ways to integrate Gradio with the Hugging Face Hub, let’s take a look at some advanced features of the `Interface` class. That’s the topic of the next section!
