I am getting the error "The current space is in the invalid state: RUNTIME_ERROR. Please contact the owner to fix this." when running this code:

from gradio_tools import (StableDiffusionTool, ImageCaptioningTool, StableDiffusionPromptGeneratorTool,
TextToVideoTool)

from langchain.agents import initialize_agent
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferMemory

llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
memory = ConversationBufferMemory(memory_key="chat_history")

tools = [StableDiffusionTool().langchain, ImageCaptioningTool().langchain,
StableDiffusionPromptGeneratorTool().langchain, TextToVideoTool().langchain]

agent = initialize_agent(tools, llm, memory=memory, agent="conversational-react-description", verbose=True)
output = agent.run(input=("Please create a photo of a dog riding a skateboard "
"but improve my prompt prior to using an image generator."
"Please caption the generated image and create a video for it using the improved prompt."))

Same issue. https://huggingface.co/gradio-client-demos shows all spaces are in runtime error.

Hi @freddyaboulton and team,

I'm encountering the same ValueError: The current space is in the invalid state: RUNTIME_ERROR when using StableDiffusionTool from gradio-tools, specifically when it tries to instantiate the grc.Client. This appears to stem from the remote space being unavailable or in a broken state.

Given that this dependency breaks at runtime and affects reproducibility, especially for hosted apps or demos relying on these tools, are there any plans to make this more robust (e.g., fallback handling, local model support, or updated endpoints)? Or is the recommendation now to move away from gradio-tools entirely?

Thanks for your time and any update you can share.
