WebLLM, developed by the MLC-AI team, allows large language models (LLMs) to run fully within a web browser using modern web technologies like WebAssembly and WebGPU. This enables models to be more accessible client-side, providing privacy and offline support. While cloud-based LLMs are faster and require powerful servers, WebLLM offers cross-platform portability and easier installation. Implementation can be done using the WebLLM npm package, which includes support for web workers to enhance application performance.
