## Core Patterns
**Interface** (high-level): wraps a function with input/output components.
```python
import gradio as gr
def greet(name):
return f"Hello {name}!"
gr.Interface(fn=greet, inputs="text", outputs="text").launch()
```
**Blocks** (low-level): flexible layout with explicit event wiring.
```python
import gradio as gr
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
name = gr.Textbox(label="Name")
output = gr.Textbox(label="Greeting")
btn = gr.Button("Greet")
btn.click(fn=lambda n: f
