AI in the Browser
Running AI in the browser brings several advantages like privacy where the user’s data never leaves the device, lower server costs, lower AI costs, less latency, and the ability to run offline. In this talk, we’ll look at several options for running AI locally from browser built-in models to libraries that leverage Wasm, WebGPU, or WebNN. While local AI brings advantages, we’ll also discuss when this might not be the best solution.
