# Debugging Slow Response on Hugging Face Spaces ## How to Check Logs 1. Go to your Space: https://huggingface.co/spaces/nocapdev/my-gradio-momask 2. Click the **"Logs"** tab at the top 3. Look for errors or warnings ## Common Issues & What to Look For ### Issue 1: Models Not Loading **Look for in logs:** ``` FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './checkpoints/...' ``` **Cause:** Model checkpoints aren't uploaded to HF Spaces ### Issue 2: CUDA Not Available **Look for in logs:** ``` RuntimeError: CUDA not available ``` **Cause:** HF free tier uses CPU, not GPU ### Issue 3: Out of Memory **Look for in logs:** ``` torch.cuda.OutOfMemoryError SIGKILL (killed by system) ``` **Cause:** Model too large for available RAM/VRAM ### Issue 4: Stuck on Generation **Look for in logs:** ``` [Last line shows generation started but never completes] ``` **Cause:** Slow CPU inference or infinite loop --- ## Quick Fixes ### Fix 1: Check if it's using CPU instead of GPU The app defaults to CUDA but HF Spaces free tier only has CPU. **Action:** Tell me what you see in the logs, and I'll help optimize for CPU or upgrade to GPU Space. ### Fix 2: Models might be missing **Check logs for:** "FileNotFoundError" or "checkpoint not found" **If missing:** Models aren't uploaded. You need to either: 1. Upload models to HF Space (if <5GB) 2. Host models on HF Model Hub and download on startup 3. Use Spaces Secrets for large files --- ## What to Share Copy from HF Spaces Logs tab and share: 1. **Startup logs** (first 20 lines) 2. **Error messages** (any red text) 3. **Last 10 lines** of logs when you submitted the prompt This will help me identify the exact issue!
