…ee tier Static Spaces stay free for everyone. Creating Gradio/Docker Spaces (compute) now requires PRO for personal accounts, Team or Enterprise for organizations. Free personal accounts in good standing can host up to 2 ZeroGPU Spaces (10 for PRO, 50 for paid orgs).

The commit message states that the compute creation gate is not deployed yet, but this warning presents it as current behavior. If these docs publish before the Hub-side change, free users will be told they need PRO/Team/Enterprise to create Gradio or Docker Spaces even though the product still allows it, which is misleading for a billing/creation flow. Please keep this wording out until the gate is live or mark it explicitly as upcoming.

Draft until the corresponding Hub-side change is deployed. The ZeroGPU free tier is already live; the compute creation gate is not yet.
Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only wording changes with no runtime or security impact; note the PR is intended to merge after the Hub creation gate ships.
Overview
Updates Hub docs to match the new Spaces creation rules: static Spaces stay free; Gradio and Docker (compute, including CPU Basic) require PRO (personal) or Team/Enterprise (orgs) to create or duplicate, with a ZeroGPU carve-out for eligible free personal accounts (up to 2 hosted Spaces; PRO up to 10, orgs up to 50).
Adds creation warnings in
spaces-overview.md, a CPU Basic note inspaces-gpus.md, static-SDK clarification inspaces-sdks-static.md, and expanded ZeroGPU hosting limits inspaces-zerogpu.md. PRO / billing benefit bullets now mention compute Gradio/Docker creation plus the 10 ZeroGPU cap; billing copy no longer calls compute’s free tier “comprehensive.”Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit cbd8417.
