Hello, I am setting up the gradio space for min-dalle. Is there a way to show progressive outputs while the image is generating? That is, can I show 8 images in a sequence during inference? Thanks.

Hi Kuprel, as of now, you’d need to wait until the function is done before returning all 8 images (which you could animate in a sequence via a GIF or something), but we are looking to add support for this!

See: [[Blocks] Is it possible to support iterative updating of an output component? · Issue #776 · gradio-app/gradio (github.com)](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/issues/776)

Thanks. Showing them afterward would defeat the purpose. Cool that it’s being worked on!
