Guide: check where Gradio workflow nodes run—and how the API executes branches

Gradio documents different execution behavior for the canvas and generated API. Its Workflow1111 example also mixes local processing with remote model calls. Documentation-based; not hands-on tested.

The guidance

Before wiring a media pipeline, inspect its operators: Gradio documents Python functions, Hub Spaces, models through InferenceClient, and dataset rows. Keep the local write-access URL private; ordinary local and share URLs are run-only. The guide also says equal-depth branches run in parallel in the canvas but sequentially through the generated API. [G1]

For a concrete example, the September 10 Workflow1111 walkthrough combines image generation and editing with Python processing. Model calls use the signed-in user's quota; its detector calls out remotely while mask creation runs locally. Read each node's implementation before assuming the entire graph stays on your machine. This documentation-based guide was checked September 13; it is not a hands-on test or a launch announcement. [G2]
