# Simple DialoGPT Chatbot (Gradio + Transformers)

A bare-bones conversational bot you can fork, remix, or swap to any open-weights model on the Hugging Face Hub.

* **No external API keys** – the model is pulled once at build time.
* Runs on free CPU Spaces (≈ 15 s cold-start, then ~1-3 s/response).
* File breakdown  
  * `app.py` – Gradio UI + chat loop  
  * `requirements.txt` – dependencies (Transformers, Torch, Gradio)

To deploy your own:

```bash
hf_hub_new simple-chatbot --sdk gradio   # or click “Create Space”
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
git push
