 # Testing exported model
 The following script creates an MP4 video of interpolated frames between 2 input images:
 ```
-python inference.py "model_path" "img1" "img2" [--save_path SAVE_PATH] [--gpu] [--fp16] [--frames FRAMES] [--fps FPS]
+python inference.py "model_path" "img1" "img2" [--save_path SAVE_PATH] [--device DEVICE_NAME] [--fp16] [--frames FRAMES] [--fps FPS]
 ```
 * ```model_path``` Path to the exported TorchScript checkpoint
 * ```img1``` Path to the first image
 * ```img2``` Path to the second image
 * ```--save_path SAVE_PATH``` Path to save the interpolated frames as a video, if absent it will be saved in the same directory as ```img1``` is located and named ```output.mp4```
-* ```--gpu``` Whether to attempt to use GPU for predictions
+* ```--device``` Choose between `gpu`, `cpu` and `auto`. The latter will be selected as the default setting. 
 * ```--fp16``` Whether to use fp16 for calculations, speeds inference up on GPUs with tensor cores
 * ```--frames FRAMES``` Number of frames to interpolate between the input images
 * ```--fps FPS``` FPS of the output video
 
+Or try the **gradio application**. First you need to install gradio on your local environment:
+
+```sh
+pip install gradio
+```
+
+Then, you can run the application:
+
+```sh
+python gradio_app.py gradio_app.py [--port PORT] [--debug] [--share]
+```
+
