What you get

Anyone can use ZeroGPU Spaces for free. A free account gets 5 minutes of GPU time a day, and signed-out visitors get 2.
Free accounts in good standing (verified email, account older than 30 days) can host up to 2 of their own ZeroGPU Spaces.
The default GPU size is half of an NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell (48 GB). The "xlarge" size gets the full GPU (96 GB) and uses quota twice as fast.
Free CPU Basic Spaces (2 vCPU, 16 GB) for hosting demos.

Limits

The daily quota resets 24 hours after your first GPU use.
ZeroGPU only works with the Gradio SDK, and each function call gets 60 seconds of GPU time by default (configurable).

Who qualifies

A free Hugging Face account. Hosting a ZeroGPU Space needs a verified email and an account older than 30 days.

Example prompt: "Open the official Hugging Face ZeroGPU page (huggingface.co) and check that this offer still matches what it says there. Once I've signed in, set it up for me. Stop and hand control back to me at any sign-in, phone or ID check, card field, captcha or terms acceptance."

Quotas are per account. Don't use extra accounts to get more ZeroGPU time.
