Hugging Face announces gradio.Server, a new server class that extends FastAPI to allow developers to build custom frontends with any framework (React, Svelte, vanilla HTML/JS) while leveraging Gradio's queuing, concurrency, ZeroGPU, and API infrastructure.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://huggingface.co/blog/introducing-gradio-server:

> gradio.Server extends FastAPI. It gives you the full power of FastAPI (custom routes, middleware, file uploads, any response type) while adding Gradio's API engine on top: queuing, SSE streaming, concurrency control, and gradio_client compatibility.
