WebGPUs Revolutionize Browser Computing Power
The core breakthrough of DeepSeek-R1 WebGPU is to fully utilize WebGPU, a next-generation graphics API. compared with traditional WebGL, WebGPU provides more underlying GPU access capabilities, supports parallel computing and multi-threaded processing. Actual test data shows that under the same hardware conditions, WebGPU can increase the speed of AI model inference by 50-100 times.
The technical implementation contains three major innovations: 1) the use of a modern GPU computation pipeline instead of the traditional graphics rendering pipeline; 2) generalized programming of computational tasks through the WGSL shader language; and 3) intelligent memory management to reduce CPU-GPU data exchange overhead. These improvements enable the 1.5B parameter DeepSeek-R1 model to generate text at 5-10 tokens/second in Chrome.
Notably, the technology breaks through the memory limitations of wasm to support larger scale model deployment. It is now well supported in modern browsers such as Google Chrome (v88+) and Edge, marking a new era of browser computing.
