  Hi Hacker News!<p>Just in case (a common question): we are planning to open-source the MDST WebGPU engine, but please give us some time to polish it and get it ready for a harsh oss community.<p>Meanwhile, you can skip the waiting list with this invite: hackernews_Eq1RDox<p>WebGPU technology gives us a way to provide truly free and accessible user tiers for everyone without burning investor capital or doing rug pulls.<p>If you have any questions, I’d love to answer them.

  While it is nice that you say you will eventually open source it, I&#x27;m concerned that there is a need for an account to use the free options. Most software could be used great without an account and collecting all of our private data.<p>Also, since we are forced to sign in, there is no option to use the website for auth and only Google or Github, both not the best choices.

    You&#x27;re absolutely right (lol, I&#x27;m talking like gpt4o now), after initial feedback we found that there is a better way to present webgpu gguf engine without registration — some kinda webgpu gguf playground and we are currently building it!<p>(if you have any neat ideas — I would love to hear it)
