WebLLM brings AI models to browsers via WebGPU

WebLLM is a new project that enables large language models to run directly within web browsers using WebGPU for hardware acceleration. This client-side execution enhances user privacy and reduces server costs by keeping all AI computations on the user's device. Developers can leverage familiar OpenAI API calls with various open-source models like Llama 3 and Phi 3, with features such as streaming and JSON mode. AI
