About web-llm

mlc-ai/web-llm

High-performance In-browser LLM Inference Engine

WebLLM helps web developers integrate powerful AI language models directly into their web applications, running entirely within the user's browser. It takes model files and instructions, producing AI-generated text, chat responses, or structured JSON data. Web developers creating interactive, privacy-focused AI experiences for their users would benefit from this.
