Transformers.js explores Cross-Origin Storage API to fix duplicate model caching

Transformers.js, a library for running AI models in web browsers, faces a caching challenge where duplicate downloads and storage occur when the same models or WebAssembly runtimes are used across different origins. This leads to redundant downloads of model resources and shared Wasm files, consuming unnecessary disk space and bandwidth. The blog post explores the proposed Cross-Origin Storage API as a potential solution to mitigate these inefficiencies by allowing shared caching across different web applications. AI

IMPACT This exploration of shared caching for AI models in browsers could reduce bandwidth and storage needs for web applications using Transformers.js.
