Describe the bug
Hello, I have a Gradio app deployed with GitHub pages and Gradio Lite. It worked really fine. But since the major update of huggingface-hub library (from 0.35 to 1.0) a couple of weeks ago, the gradio-lite library is throwing an error since it does not support version above 1.0.
In the website I have hosted with GitHub pages, the first time it is loaded with no errors, but after the first time it shows the following error:
Error
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/lib/python3.12/site-packages/micropip/package_manager.py", line 133, in install return await install( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/lib/python3.12/site-packages/micropip/install.py", line 57, in install raise ValueError( ValueError: Can't find a pure Python 3 wheel for: 'huggingface-hub<1.0,>=0.33.5' See: https://pyodide.org/en/stable/usage/faq.html#why-can-t-micropip-find-a-pure-python-wheel-for-a-package
D/e.onmessage@https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@gradio/lite/dist/assets/webworker-S4bilnnk.js:390:312
I find this behavior really weird, since I don't understand why the first time it loads it with no trouble (I have tried several times, clearing the cache, restarting the PC, etc.) and it happens every time. However, focusing on the error, it says that it can't find a python wheel, but the huggingface-hub library provides one (check download files of the package page in pypi).
So I tried to reproduce the error locally. I created a conda environment with the packages I will share below. In here the full traceback error is:

D/e.onmessage@https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@gradio/lite/dist/assets/webworker-S4bilnnk.js:390:312
So, it seems that gradio-lite does not allow huggingface-hub>=1.0. I would like to know whether you are aware of this, and if in the future it will be solved.
PS: I have search for similar issue, only finding #12127 but it encountered the same problem in Gradio playground, not on gradio-lite.
