We just released gradio version 4.26.0 ! We *highly* recommend you upgrade your apps to this version to bring in these nice changes:
๐ฅ Introducing the API recorder. Any gradio app running 4.26.0 and above will have an "API Recorder" that will record your interactions with the app and auto-generate the corresponding python or js code needed to recreate those actions programmatically. It's very neat!
๐ Enhanced markdown rendering in gr.Chatbot
๐ข Fix for slow load times on spaces as well as the UI locking up on rapid generations
See the full changelog of goodies here: https://www.gradio.app/changelog#4-26-0

text-generation-inference (TGI) is now fully open-source again!
Along with text-embeddings-inference.
We just switched both of those repos' license back to Apache 2. ๐ฅ

Gradio 4.25.0 is out with some nice improvements and bug fixes!
๐งน Automatic deletion of gr.State variables stored in the server. Never run out of RAM again. Also adds an unload event you can run when a user closes their browser tab.
๐ด Lazy example caching. You can set cache_examples="lazy" to cache examples when they're first requested as opposed to before the server launches. This can cut down the server's start-up time drastically.
๐ Fixes a bug with streaming audio outputs
๐ค Improvements to gr.ChatInterface like pasting images directly from the clipboard.

Not with the format parameter. That only applies if you return a numpy or PIL image from your prediction function. If you want to control how files are saved to jpeg, you can do that within your prediction function and gradio will not modify it further.

Tips for saving disk space with Gradio ๐พ
Try these out with gradio 4.22.0 ! Code snippet attached.
1. Set delete_cache. The delete_cache parameter will periodically delete files from gradio's cache that are older than a given age. Setting it will also delete all files created by that app when the app shuts down. It is a tuple of two ints, (frequency, age) expressed in seconds. So delete_cache=(3600, 3600), will delete files older than an hour every hour.
2. Use static files. Static files are not copied to the cache and are instead served directly to users of your app. This is useful for components displaying a lot of content that won't change, like a gallery with hundreds of images.
3. Set format="jpeg" for images and galleries. JPEGs take up less disk space than PNGs. This can also speed up the speed of your prediction function as they will be written to the cache faster.

NVIDIA released Chat with RTX. Why is it significant? It's NVIDIA's first step towards the vision of "LLM as Operating System" - a locally running, heavily optimized AI assistant that deeply integrates with your file systems, features retrieval as the first-class citizen, preserves privacy, and leverages your desktop gaming GPUs to the full.
A web-hosted version will have a hard time matching the same functionality. NVIDIA is going local even before OpenAI.

Are you working with users and would like to let them edit a text containing highlights? Check out my new Gradio component
The component can be installed with
Demo: gsarti/gradio_highlightedtextbox
HighlightedTextbox! ๐คThe component can be installed with
pip install gradio_highlightedtextbox and used seamlessly with other native components in Gradio interfaces. It supports texts with multiple tags and provides some reasonable UX behaviors (tags disappear when an edit is performed inside them). It should be great for UIs to study user editing of annotated LM generations/translations!Demo: gsarti/gradio_highlightedtextbox

New in Gradio 4.16.0 - Galleries as Input ๐ผ๏ธ
Now your users can upload multiple images as input to your AI application and view them in a slick gallery!
Attached is a demo of how this new feature can be used in a photomaker-type application: TencentARC/PhotoMaker
Shout out @abidlabs and @akhaliq who proposed this feature after seeing some of the workarounds gradio developers were using in the wild to upload multiple images.
The gradio team works hard to stay up to date with the latest trends in AI! If there's something missing from the library, file an issue on github! https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/issues

Making gradio's auto-reload leaner and more robust ๐ช
Auto-reload is one of the coolest (and maybe underrated) features of gradio in my opinion. It automatically detects changes in your python app file and hot swaps your backend and frontend without restarting the server. I may be biased, but that's a way nicer experience than most other reload mode features out there.
This is all possible due to novel use of python's built in importlib module. Since this is a non-standard use of the module, our users have encountered some rough edges in the wild.
I'm happy to announce two improvements that will be out in the next release of gradio. They were both made possible by collaboration in the open source community.
1. First, gradio's reload mode now works with the
2. Second, gradio's reload mode now consumes an order of magnitude less CPU. Depending on how many files are in your source directory, you may see between 2x to 10x less CPU utilization. Thanks to @velaia for filing the issue and @abidlabs for the review!
More improvements to reload mode are planned. Stay tuned!

1. First, gradio's reload mode now works with the
python-dotenv library. Getting to the bottom of this one took a lot of sleuthing by our users and the fix got merged and released into the python-dotenv package last night! Thanks to

About a month ago, @oobabooga (who built the popular text generation webui) reported an interesting issue to the Gradio team. After upgrading to Gradio 4, @oobabooga noticed that chatbots that streamed very quickly had a lag before their text would show up in the Gradio app.
After some investigation, we determined that the Gradio frontend would receive the updates from the backend immediately, but the browser would lag before rendering the changes on the screen. The main difference between Gradio 3 and Gradio 4 was that we migrated the communication protocol between the backend and frontend from Websockets (WS) to Server-Side Events (SSE), but we couldn't figure out why this would affect the browser's ability to render the streaming updates it was receiving.
After diving deep into browsers events, @aliabid94 and @pngwn made a realization: most browsers treat WS events (specifically the
We debated different options, but the solution that we implemented was to introduce throttling: we slowed down how frequently we would push updates to the browser event stack to a maximum rate of 20/sec. Although this seemingly โslowed downโ Gradio streaming, it actually would allow browsers to process updates in real-time and provide a much better experience to end users of Gradio apps.

After diving deep into browsers events, @aliabid94 and @pngwn made a realization: most browsers treat WS events (specifically the
WebSocket.onmessage function) with a lower priority than SSE events (EventSource.onmessage function), which allowed the browser to repaint the window between WS messages. With SSE, the streaming updates would stack up in the browser's event stack and be prioritized over any browser repaint. The browser would eventually clear the stack but it would take some time to go through each update, which produced a lag.We debated different options, but the solution that we implemented was to introduce throttling: we slowed down how frequently we would push updates to the browser event stack to a maximum rate of 20/sec.
