notes
WebGPU is a web standard for GPU compute and graphics. Enables in-browser LLM inference via WGSL shaders. Supported in Chrome 113+, Safari 18+, Firefox 141+. Compute shaders enable GEMM operations needed for transformer inference. | 2026-10-10 SPEC VERIFIED: Successfully fetched official W3C specification (HTTP 200, Candidate Recommendation Snapshot). Confirms WebGPU API architecture, WGSL shader language, and compute pipelines for general-purpose GPU compute on the web, enabling matrix operations and transformer inference. Raised confidence from 0.6 to 0.9.
