WebGPT
Run GPT model on the browser with WebGPU. An implementation of GPT inference in less than ~1500 lines of vanilla Javascript.
Project mention: Homemade GPT JS – A Tensorflow.js Re-Implementation of MinGPT | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-10That's a fantastic project! Thank you for enabling training the model directly in the browser!
I have previously been impressed by https://github.com/0hq/WebGPT. Now, your project has rekindled hopes for a pure-JS GPT-like model.
Keep it up!

Project mention: GPU profiling for WebGPU workloads on Windows with Chrome | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-04
I've been using the webgpu inspector extension[0] and so far it's proving very useful.
There are some occasional bugs but the author is very responsive on github and quick to fix issues.
Couldn't get anything useful out of PIX on the other hand.

amazon-ivs-webgpu-captions-demo
This repository contains an experimental demo application that shows how you can add client-side auto-generated captions to Amazon IVS Real-time and Low-latency streams using transformers.js and WebGPU.
Project mention: Publishing Real-Time Participant Transcripts via SEI with Amazon IVS | dev.to | 2025-03-24Each application has different requirements. The approach we're looking at in this post transcribes the audio on the broadcaster side, but you may want to handle the transcription on the client/viewer side instead. If that sounds like something that fits your needs, check out the experimental Amazon IVS WebGPU Captions Demo on GitHub.
