Gradio 5.0 has been officially launched, offering significant improvements in real-time interaction capabilities for Python web frontends and streaming. The new version allows developers to create real-time streaming demos with just 250 lines of code. This launch has been well-received by the community, with beta testers praising its ease of use and functionality. Additionally, the new Whisper model, including Whisper Large v3 Turbo, has been introduced. This model is 8x faster than the previous large version, 4x faster than the medium version, and 2x faster than the small version, while being almost half the size and multilingual. Gradio 5.0 and Whisper Turbo enable real-time audio note-taking and transcription, providing a completely open-source stack for building high-performing Python applications. Developers can build these Python apps locally or host them publicly.
