Chrome 144 introduces two new WGSL language extensions: subgroup_id for accessing subgroup identifiers within workgroups, and uniform_buffer_standard_layout for simplified memory layout alignment between uniform and storage buffers. WebGPU is rolling out on Linux starting with Intel Gen12+ GPUs. Performance improvements include up to 2X faster writeBuffer() and writeTexture() operations. The Android GPU team released the first alpha of Kotlin bindings for WebGPU through Jetpack's androidx.webgpu package.
