Hugging Face published 207 WebGPU kernels and a loader that pulls them from the Hub
The @huggingface/kernels package downloads one GPU operation from the Hub and runs it in a browser that supports WebGPU. All 207 kernels are Apache-2.0, and each one is published with its interface contract, correctness cases, and benchmark cases in the same repository. Hugging Face compared them with ONNX Runtime Web 1.30.0 on an Apple M4 GPU and reports a 2.57x geometric mean speedup across 809 comparable cases. The timings cover work on the GPU alone, for single operations rather than whole models.
