I got Llama 3 running in my browser using only my GPU with my Wi-Fi switched OFF completely client-side WebGPU is a new feature in browsers where JS can use the GPU of the device and apparently you can run LLMs on it too, and it's fast! My end... show more

One way to deal with the limitations of having to download model - let user use cloud model but show an indicator ☁️ Cloud Based Conversation or smth then once it's locally ran switch to ✅ 100% private local conversation - if user GPU or connection doesn't allow for locally run LLM give them the cloud one

I don't think users will be satisfied with the quality of even 7b models for that use case. Local compute is techie-brain thinking, no b2c product has ever won because of privacy advantages.

Yep but there's 70B too, issue is how do you get that 40GB file to the user

LM Studio is great but unusable for non-techies, it's still very hard You have to download it, install it, go to the right tab, search the model, choose the right quantization (this is insane btw, why doesn't it choose the best for me) It's very engineer minded and not user friendly

While WebGPU-powered LLMs are amazing for demos (and to show what's possible in a browser context), I think the most exciting applications will use smaller task-specific models (especially for vision and multimodal tasks). For example: - Background removal: - Image segmentation (SAM):

Unless your users are tech savy and super concern about privacy they are not going to download a file.

It'll be automatic ofc

Still don’t understand why you named your product “the rapist ai”

On-device is 100% the future - particularly for private use cases like this. Combine this with TTS e.g so that users can speak & build the rapport. HF has been working hard on web + on-device with Transformers.JS & my project:
