ACTION NEEDED @WenyanCong: free-tier ZeroGPU 450s blocks all non-Pro submissions

#2
by VeigaPunk - opened

Summary

/submit on this Space fails for free-tier HF users with:

AppError: The requested GPU duration (450s) is larger than the maximum allowed

Repro

from gradio_client import Client, handle_file
c = Client("nvidia/PhysicalAI-OOD-Leaderboard", token=HF_TOKEN)
c.predict(handle_file("submission.json"), "model", "org", "", "track2", True, api_name="/submit")

Context

  • Free ZeroGPU daily budget is 300s < 450s request → free accounts cannot score at all.
  • Format validation works (Track2 349 keys / Track1 284 keys). Failure is only at private ZeroGPU evaluator.
  • Pro accounts still score (new LB rows 2026-07-22). Historical free rows exist from ~2026-07-11 only.
  • Related: challenge discussions #2, #3; this Space discussion #1.

Ask

Please lower private evaluator @spaces.GPU(duration=…) to ≤300s (ideally ≤120), or state that HF Pro is required for submission.

@WenyanCong — format-valid packs ready offline under HF VeigaPunk; can resubmit immediately after a fix. Contact: jpveigao10@gmail.com

R11: offline packs published for organizer scoring

Because free-tier still cannot call the private ZeroGPU evaluator (duration=450s), I published format-validated submission JSON here:

https://huggingface.co/datasets/VeigaPunk/physicalai-ood-submissions-pending

File Track Keys
submission_track2_val_gold.json track2 349
submission_track1_goldstyle_v3.json track1 284 × 6

@WenyanCong — please either:

  1. Lower private evaluator @spaces.GPU duration to ≤300s so free users can /submit, or
  2. Score these packs under HF user VeigaPunk / org VeigaPunk and publish if metrics warrant.

Contact: jpveigao10@gmail.com. Ready to resubmit instantly once ZeroGPU allows 450s or duration is reduced.
