Use a library that targets WebGPU – Transformers.js, WebLLM, or ONNX Runtime Web’s WebGPU execution provider – which downloads a model, runs it client-side via the GPU, running via WASM on the CPU where WebGPU isn’t available.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Load a JavaScript library that has a WebGPU backend, let it detect GPU support, and have it fetch the model weights at runtime instead of shipping them in your build. The practical choices are Transformers.js<\/a> (uses ONNX Runtime under the hood, functionally similar to the Python transformers library), WebLLM<\/a> (built on the MLC inference engine, purpose-built for LLMs), and ONNX Runtime Web’s WebGPU execution provider<\/a> for ONNX models like Whisper or Segment Anything. All three run entirely client-side with no server call after the model is cached.<\/p>\n

If you build your web game with an AI coding agent, Playgama MCP<\/a> lets agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code manage developer cabinet tasks such as uploading builds and publishing a test sandbox.<\/p>\n
