You can run CUDA, on a Mac ARM GPU, in the browser.


It sounds ridiculous but it actually works.

HipScript chains CUDA, to OpenCL, to Vulkan, to Tint (Google’s shader translator), to a WASM WebGPU.

I got a plasma simulation in running in just a few minutes, no NVIDIA GPU!

Scoop: The DOGE website that Elon Musk spun up to track cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone. So, someone did.
