WebGPU
Also known as: WebGPU API / W3C WebGPU
WebGL's successor abstracting Vulkan, Metal, and D3D12. Stable since Chrome 113; supports GPU compute for ML and high-quality 3D graphics.
Overview
WebGPU provides lower-level GPU access than WebGL and unifies rendering with compute in a single API. Three.js and Babylon.js now support WebGPU backends, dramatically improving browser 3D quality. See the Three.js 2026 guide for practical examples.
Machine learning applications
WebGPU compute shaders enable GPU-accelerated ML inference in the browser. This opens possibilities for edge AI and real-time video processing without server round-trips.
