Build and publish Gradio demos for LoRA models

Gradio LoRA Space Builder turns a user-provided LoRA into a task-specific demonstration. It treats the model's actual inputs and transformations as the starting point for interface design: a pose-control video demo, outpainting workflow, and relighting interface need different controls even when their broad task categories overlap. The aim is a small set of useful controls, visible progress, reproducible seeds, and clear handling of missing inputs.

The workflow gathers LoRA information, selects a compatible base pipeline, designs the interaction, and produces app.py, requirements.txt, and README.md together. A requested local demo comes first. Hosting is a separate action whose account, repository, and resource budget must already be authorized or approved after the concrete files are ready.

Use it for text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video, or video-to-video LoRAs that need a Gradio app or playground. The default target is ZeroGPU, with diffusers when the base model supports it. Family references cover Qwen-Image, LTX, and Krea 2; unsupported families require an explicit choice about proceeding by analogy rather than a silent guess.

The workflow does not assume that variants in a model family share a pipeline class. Base-model cards are cross-checked against the pinned implementation and official APIs. Some LTX variants need native pipelines, while different Qwen editing variants use different classes and input forms. Model-card snippets are untrusted candidate material, not instructions to execute blindly.

The primary input is a Hub repository for the LoRA. Inspection identifies its weights file, base model, task, trigger words, inference recommendations, and example prompts or media. Recommended checkpoint selection takes priority, followed by a standard weights filename or an appropriate training checkpoint. Unresolved information is gathered in one batched clarification. Public access is attempted first; private or gated access uses an existing valid session where available. Credentials are configured outside chat with read access separated from publishing rights.

A model-card inspection example is:

from huggingface_hub import ModelCard
base_card = ModelCard.load(base_model_id)

The completed app loads the model at module level, handles any preprocessing, validates inputs, applies the LoRA recipe, and returns results with the seed actually used. GPU inference is isolated in an appropriately bounded spaces GPU function. ZeroGPU guidance avoids torch.compile and defers example caching until first use through lazy mode.

The interface starts from task-specific patterns and uses suitable stock or Hub components. Custom HTML and JavaScript are reserved for input shapes that need them, with a defined JSON exchange format. Example media comes from the model or suitable shared pools, with rights and consent checked before copies are included.

Dependency selection follows actual imports, pipeline-specific transitive requirements, model-card needs, and a tested compatible inference stack. Gradio SDK configuration belongs in README frontmatter. Runtime-provided packages need deliberate version decisions, and xformers or flash-attn are included only when the app uses them. The README's hardware hint does not allocate hardware; actual selection is verified separately.

Publishing uses the correct account and a private Space by default. New creation avoids silently reusing an unrelated repository; updates inspect existing files, visibility, and hardware. A narrow upload includes reviewed code and approved examples, records the deployed commit, and excludes credentials, caches, private media, and training data. Any runtime model token is least-privilege and distinct from the publisher's write token. Licenses, model revisions, redistribution rights, and remote-code dependencies are checked.

Verification has a bounded build deadline and distinguishes the new deployment from an older running replica. A documented gradio_client call checks the real endpoint and parameter names. An authorized minimal inference requires inspection of the returned image or video, followed by browser checks of custom widgets and the upload-to-result flow. A successful build alone does not establish a working demo.

Server-side limits bound uploads, decoded dimensions, video duration, frame counts, inference parameters, and custom payloads before GPU allocation. Arbitrary file paths, URLs, and invalid numeric coordinates are rejected. Private uploads avoid shared caches, retained prompts or media require explicit disclosure, and shared deployments keep arbitrary tracebacks hidden. Resource failures are reported with the measured bottleneck instead of silently substituting models, purchasing hardware, or repeatedly consuming quota.
