Yo, #WebAI Devs, just wanted to let you know that $200k up for grabs from mother Google for supporting solid #WebML work in your existing activities, such as conversion of models to work in the browser for #JS folk to use, or creating tools and utilities that can benefit the wider Web AI community (maybe a faster way to convert models or such so more of us can contribute in the future). Maybe you're already writing a Web AI library and need to hire someone to get something completed faster, these funds could enable that! More details here: Apply via open collective:

Engineers, creatives, designers - lend me your ears, and eyes, to check my🥇1st tech demo of 2025: A #WebAI Agent running entirely client side in the browser, that's capable of controlling a flight search webpage, to get the job done! I'm using @Google's Gemma 2 (2B) model in #JavaScript via #WebGPU thanks to the MediaPipe Web LLM library, combined with some extra function calling logic to enable advanced user experiences. If you like what you see, give this post a share, as I'm just one guy trying to show the world the power of Web AI to do great things. Try it for yourself using the link below after watching the video, but do so on a modernish machine (I have verified it runs on my 6 year old Dell XPS with only an Intel integrated GPU) but use a modern browser like @googlechrome as it needs WebGPU to run. Want me to make a demo for your industry? Tell me what you need / want to see next! Let me know what you think, and if you have any questions, then drop them in the comments below!
