  • run-wasm

    Run WASM based code executions in the browser easily

  • tractjs

    Run ONNX and TensorFlow inference in the browser.

    • Tensorflow (and by extension Keras) offload most of the actual work to C++ or C, so having those compile to WebAssembly would (I imagine) be a herculean effort.

    Instead, The TF team maintains TFJS, which can run on WebAssembly[0].

    There are also tractjs[1], and onnyxjs[2], both of which allow you to run (most) ONNX models (which is an open standard for specifying ML models) using WebAssembly and WebGL(only onnyxjs supports WebGL). A bunch of frameworks (caffe, pytorch, TF) support exporting to/importing from ONNX.
