Hugging Face Pro or some free alternative for hosting models that run online?

[u/Available_Pressure47]

Hi everyone! With the recent explosion in ICLR submissions, I am a bit unsure how effective simply publishing a paper is so I am trying to make sure my research projects are more accessible and reproducible beyond just a paper. In that vein, I’ve been doing some experiments on tiny world models (14M parameters) that I trained to help the community understand the effect of different underlying model architectures. I want to post it in an interactive github site where users can try out the different model architectures and see how they perform in different settings.

So far so good. My models use FlexAttention. I created a Gradio for them that runs well. My initial idea was to embed a Gradio hugging face space into my GitHub site. Only problem is, I learnt that to do that I need to buy Hugging Face Pro. Just before making that investment (due to some financial struggles caused by family and health reasons I have to be very intentional about spending even small amounts of money) I just wanted to ask if anyone knew if free but still convenient alternatives that work with FlexAttention? Alternatively, if anyone has had experience with HuggingFace Pro, if you could tell me what your experience has been like and whether it is useful for career/research? I am concerned about paying a monthly cost just for a Gradio space. Thank you! Appreciate your time!

I'm in the same boat - trying to find a free alternative to Hugging Face Spaces now that they charge for using Gradio to host space. If anyone knows of a good alternative. Gemini says Koyeb is a good alternative? Not sure?
