About ZeroGPU
ZeroGPU is a shared GPU compute layer that provides dynamic GPU allocation for AI inference on Hugging Face Spaces.
It allocates compute only when a Space is actively handling a request, which removes idle GPU waste, and it integrates with the Hugging Face ecosystem, supporting common model frameworks and Spaces deployments. It runs in the browser through Hugging Face Spaces, so no local GPU hardware is needed.
It fits teams already working inside Hugging Face Spaces who want on-demand inference without their own GPUs. It's a poorer fit if you need to self-host outside that platform, which it restricts, or if you rely on the free tier, where queueing can spike inference latency during high demand.
Within this directory it's a loose category fit: it's an inference and compute layer rather than a code-editing or agentic coding tool.

What it does well
- Provides dynamic, shared GPU compute for AI inference on Hugging Face Spaces.
- Integrates with the Hugging Face ecosystem, supporting common model frameworks and Spaces deployments.
- Runs entirely in the browser via web-based Hugging Face Spaces, requiring no local GPU hardware.
- Eliminates idle GPU waste by allocating compute only when a Space is actively handling a request.
Where it falls short
- Subject to queueing on the free tier, so inference latency can spike during periods of high demand.
- Restricted to the Hugging Face Spaces environment, with limited ability to self-host outside that platform.
- Category fit is loose: it is an inference/compute layer rather than a code-editing or agentic coding tool.

- How to Build an MVP with AI
You don't start by building. You start by finding the one assumption that would kill the idea, then build the smallest thing that tests it. Here's the full idea-to-deployed workflow from a live AI build session: research the market with ChatGPT, pick a segment on unit economics, have AI write the PRD, then vibe-code and ship with Claude Code — in a couple of hours, not a quarter.

A harness is the runtime wrapper that turns a bare language model into an agent — the layer that runs tools, holds memory, assembles context, and enforces limits. The model does the reasoning; the harness does everything the model can't do on its own. It's the part that decides whether you shipped a chatbot or a real agent — and it's why the same model feels brilliant in one tool and useless in another.
Read guide → - Claude Code Memory
Claude Code has built-in memory — a CLAUDE.md file it reads each session — but it only holds short, hand-written notes. To make it understand a large codebase or docs set, you add a second brain: turn the repo into a knowledge graph, fold that into an Obsidian vault, and let the agent query the map instead of re-reading every file.
