- WebGPU is now officially supported across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, enabling high-performance 3D graphics and GPU computations in browsers.
- Developed by the W3C GPU for the Web Working Group with contributions from major tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft.
- WebGPU offers a modern, performant interface, replacing WebGL, with features like an idiomatic JavaScript API and a new shader language.
- Enables advanced 3D graphics, gaming, AI applications, and GPU-accelerated computations directly in the browser.
- Supports Render Bundles for improved performance, reducing CPU overhead and speeding up rendering.
- Available on multiple platforms and browsers, with ongoing expansion to more devices and operating systems.
- Libraries and engines like Dawn and wgpu support WebGPU, facilitating cross-platform development.
- Acknowledgements to contributors and collaborators for their efforts in developing WebGPU.
