Gradio

Hugging Face

Gradio is a Python package for quickly building web demos and applications around machine-learning models, APIs or arbitrary Python functions, without JavaScript, CSS or web-hosting knowledge. It provides the Interface, Blocks and ChatInterface classes plus built-in public sharing of demos. Originally an independent project, it is now maintained under Hugging Face, which acquired it.

Adoption

5 high confidence
5.0

15,829,897 PyPI downloads of `gradio` in the trailing 30 days, which clears the top band of the software usage scale, over 10M a month, level 5. That is the same band other products on this map hold at comparable volume - pydantic-ai at around 31M, llama-index at around 10.18M. Gradio is the default framework for ML demos and interfaces, and the standard backend for Hugging Face Spaces. This is a conservative placement: the volume sits not far above the 10M threshold, so the level rests on that status as well as on the download figure.

Capability

4 high confidence
4.0

Broad and widely used for demos and apps but scoped to the interface layer, not model training.
