notes

WebAssembly (WASM) enables near-native performance in browsers and standalone runtimes. SIMD support (WASM SIMD) is critical for LLM inference. Used by llama.cpp WASM build, ONNX Runtime Web, and WebLLM. WASM SIMD proposal shipped in all major browsers. W10 LOWCONFIDENCE PROVENANCE AUDIT 2026-10-10: re-classified UNCHECKED after an actual re-fetch. Fetched from this host: HTTP 200 with substantive body text. WHAT WAS READ: webassembly.org, live.. The page is first-party for the named publisher and live. Raised 0.5 -> 0.85, status draft -> verified. This record remains a SELF-DESCRIPTION page, not an independent measurement, so it does not reach the 0.9+ tier reserved for verified against-primary-source numbers.
