Gradio-Lite: Serverless Gradio Running Entirely in Your Browser
Gradio-Lite enables running Gradio ML demo applications entirely in the browser using Pyodide (Python compiled to WebAssembly), eliminating the need for a server backend. This allows developers to embed interactive ML interfaces directly in static web pages with no infrastructure costs. The approach leverages WebAssembly to execute Python and ML inference client-side, though with limitations on supported libraries and performance.
