firefox has webgpu already, but the subgroups extension isn't in yet. every matmul / softmax kernel here leans on subgroupShuffleXor for reductions, that's the blocker. same reason mlc webllm and friends don't run on firefox either. once mozilla ships it this should work
so multiple of these browser wasm demos make me re-download the models, can someone make a cdn for it or some sort u uberfast downloader? just throw some claude credits against it ty!
CDN wouldn't help much. These days browsers partition caches by origin, so if two different tools (running on different domains) fetch the same model from the CDN, the browser would download it twice.
Adding a file input where users can upload files to the frontend directly from their file manager would probably work as a stop-gap measure, for the ones who want something quick that let people manage their own "cache" of model files.
Ah let me clarify, many of the in the browser demos make me download certain models even if I already have them It would be great if there was a way that I don't have to redownload them across demos so that I just have a cache. or an in browser model manager. hope this makes sense.<p>Or indeed use some sort of huggingface model downloader (if that exist with XET)
