WHAT IT IS
Spaces is Hugging Face’s app-hosting service, launched in 2021, that presents a model as an interactive web page. A user pushes an app written with Gradio, Streamlit or Docker to a repository and the platform builds and runs it. It addresses the gap where a model has weights but no entry point an ordinary person can open.
Why it matters
It compressed the distance from model to clickable app into a single code push, making the demo part of the open ecosystem.
