As the guy who did GPT2 in Excel, very cool and kudos!! Curious why you chose We...

This was a final project for a graphics class where we used WebGL a lot. Also I was just more familiar with OpenGL and haven't looked that much into webGPU

Someone needs to implement Excel using graphics shaders now.

Lol. You joke but... https://www.reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming/comments/pg9dw8...

Probably because WebGPU support is still rather iffy.

> Curious why you chose WebGL over WebGPU? Just to show it can be done?

For a WebGPU implementation, one can use transformers.js directly (or many other libraries actually), maybe WebGL is more original.

Transformers.js wraps the ONNX runtime which is rather versatile (WASM, WebGL, WebGPU, and WebNN). It's not the backend that makes it novel.
