Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
A WASI (WebAssembly System Interface) proposal called wasi:webgpu that aims to provide GPU access in WebAssembly. Currently in Phase 2 development, this proposal brings the benefits of Wasm (portability, security, sandboxing) to GPU compute workloads. It is based on the official WebGPU spec and targets portability across Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and the Web. The project is hosted on GitHub and open for contributions.
