Most people still think of browsers as thin clients. They're not. Modern browsers can run scientific computing, ML, and GPU workloads locally with no servers and no data leaving your device. A post by @gunjjoshi.bsky.social explains why that changes everything: blog.stdlib.io/the-largest-...

webgpu changing this is the part I keep underestimating. ran a small vision model in-browser and the surprise was memory ceilings, not compute, once tensors stopped fitting. have you hit the same wall, or has the tooling gotten past it?

Yeah, there are definitely some rough edges with webgpu. Things are improving, albeit a bit slowly. As more use cases and needs arise, I expect this to accelerate capabilities. Tooling and infra definitely need to improve, which is something we have only just recently started exploring.
