SemanticFinder now supports WebGPU thanks to @Xenova 's efforts with transformers.js v3!
Expect massive performance gains. Inferenced a whole book with 46k chunks in <5min. If your device doesn't support #WebGPU use the classic Wasm-based version:
- WebGPU: https://do-me.github.io/SemanticFinder/webgpu/
- Wasm: https://do-me.github.io/SemanticFinder/

WebGPU harnesses the full power of your hardware, no longer being restricted to just the CPU. The speedup is significant (4-60x) for all kinds of devices: consumer-grade laptops, heavy Nvidia GPU setups or Apple Silicon. Measure the difference for your device here: Xenova/webgpu-embedding-benchmark
Chrome currently works out of the box, Firefox requires some tweaking.

WebGPU + transformers.js allows to build amazing applications and make them accessible to everyone. E.g. SemanticFinder could become a simple GUI for populating your (vector) DB of choice. See the pre-indexed community texts here: do-me/SemanticFinder
Happy to hear your ideas!

Very cool!
