Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Suitable for a controlled browser-inference pilot with validated models and CPU fallback.

Why
Working browser integrations exist, but tests report model-specific GPU correctness failures and substantial compatibility constraints.
Next
Pin the runtime version, compare decoded outputs against a trusted reference, test repeated inference on target devices, and route failing graphs to WASM before expanding deployment.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Model-specific WebGPU output errors require end-to-end correctness testing.
  • Browser, GPU and driver differences require device-specific validation.
  • WebNN acceleration remains experimental and configuration-dependent.
  • Large models can exceed the runtime's documented 2GB WebAssembly memory limit.
  • Unsupported accelerated operations can require partial delegation or full CPU fallback, depending on JSPI availability.
  • Model conversion, preprocessing, postprocessing and tensor cleanup remain integration responsibilities.
  • Shader warm-up, model downloads and browser isolation requirements can complicate interactive applications.
