I’m a bit disappointed. I really wish I could have access to a GPU, even a very weak one, completely for free on Hugging Face. Many AI projects are hard to test without a GPU, and it limits access for creators who don’t have the resources. I hope that one day a free option, even a very limited one, will come back.
Hello, as I’ve seen with some models, there is limited free usage available, even if it’s not completely free. You could also try Google Colab. It needs a stable internet connection, but it works well for small and lightweight experiments.
Thanks but i want to get a fix url with gradio my space is app.py · lea97338/Flux at main and i use flux so it’s needed …
Hello, I understand what you mean now.
I also took a look at your script. You are trying to run FLUX.2-klein-4B, which is a fairly heavy image generation model. Even on GPUs with low VRAM, for example 4 GB or less, a model like this can be difficult to run smoothly on weak GPUs.
So even if Hugging Face offered a weak free GPU, this kind of model would probably still need CPU/GPU offloading, lower precision, tiling, or other memory-saving optimizations. These tricks can help the model fit into memory, but they often make generation much slower. In some cases, the experience may not feel much better than CPU-only generation.
So yes, your request makes sense. Having a free GPU option for Spaces would be very useful. But for a model this large, a very small GPU may still not be enough to give a smooth or fast user experience.
I have not tested image generation models too deeply myself, but from what I have used, Stable Diffusion 1.5 was quite good for simpler prompts, like cars, objects, landscapes, or basic painting-style images. However, it often struggles with more complex scenes, especially multiple people, human anatomy, hands, readable text, logos, and signs.
No it’s can run on 4Gb vram ,i can send a link of this space but running on my pc and this run gpu : quadro t1000 nvidia vram 4gb ,ram 16gb used by flux
