News : Bringing foundational models to the front lines of TB screening.

Tuberculosis remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, claiming an estimated 1.23 million lives each year. Despite decades of global investment, too many cases go undetected in the communities that carry the highest burden. Over the past five years, we’ve worked to change that trajectory, moving from early research benchmarks toward open foundation models that could be tuned and deployed at the point of care.

News : Hugging Face has released open-source WebGPU kernels for local AI workloads.

Hugging Face has released (opens in a new tab) an initial collection of 207 open-source WebGPU kernels for local AI workloads, accompanied by a JavaScript library that downloads and runs them directly from the Hugging Face Hub. Announced by Nico Martin (opens in a new tab) and Joshua Lochner (opens in a new tab), the collection covers the low-level operations that browser inference runtimes repeatedly need: matrix multiplication, normalization, convolution, attention primitives, quantization, broadcasting and tensor layout transformations. Everything is Apache 2.0 licensed. This is foundational work rather than another model demo. Faster browser inference ultimately depends on faster individual operations, and WebGPU portability alone does not guarantee good performance across every device.
