MDST Engine: run GGUF models in the browser with WebGPU/WASM

Hi Hacker News!

Just in case (a common question): we are planning to open-source the MDST WebGPU engine, but please give us some time to polish it and get it ready for a harsh oss community.

Meanwhile, you can skip the waiting list with this invite: hackernews_Eq1RDox

WebGPU technology gives us a way to provide truly free and accessible user tiers for everyone without burning investor capital or doing rug pulls.

If you have any questions, I’d love to answer them.

While it is nice that you say you will eventually open source it, I'm concerned that there is a need for an account to use the free options. Most software could be used great without an account and collecting all of our private data.

Also, since we are forced to sign in, there is no option to use the website for auth and only Google or Github, both not the best choices.

		You're absolutely right (lol, I'm talking like gpt4o now), after initial feedback we found that there is a better way to present webgpu gguf engine without registration — some kinda webgpu gguf playground and we are currently building it! (if you have any neat ideas — I would love to hear it)
