I have used Gradio and Streamlit extensively, and I am very disappointed with Gradio.<p>The options are limited, the UI is ugly, customisability is near non-existent.<p>I dumped using it, and focused entirely on Streamlit.<p>I am satisfied. At a previous company, we used Gradio + Strelit to demo apps to clients. We ditched Gradio and switched fully to Streamlit.<p>I recommend Streamlit over Gradio any day.<p>What Gradio has better than Streamlit is just better marketing.<p>The CEO twitted tirelessly about Gradio demos that others built, and these are the most eye-catching parts of AI "research". So those tweets would catch attention and RTs.<p>Then they hired one of the most followed person in the AI space- Abdul Khalique. He is @ak<some_number> on Twitter. He, for a long time, tweets new and noticeable arXiv papers, and hence has a considerable following.<p>Gradio hired him, and he now posted arXiv papers and their Gradio demos, and tagged Gradio at each tweet. That's how the word got around and with their marketing game, they increased market share.<p>Now I see the acquisition.<p>I would say that the CEO had this acquisition as his goal for a long time.<p>He would post Gradio demos, tag Hugging Face at each possible tweets.<p>Gradio is sub-quality product at best, and useless at worst.
