WebGPU Shaders & Compute Pipelines: The Next Frontier of Browser Graphics & ML

WebGL served the web well for over a decade, but its OpenGL ES foundation limits multi-threading, modern GPU driver abstractions, and general-purpose compute workflows. WebGPU provides a low-level, high-performance API designed from the ground up for modern GPU architectures (Vulkan, Metal, DirectX 12) featuring native compute pipelines and WGSL shaders.
