Chrome 146 is now available in beta, offering developers the opportunity to preview new features and improvements to the browser. Among the most interesting innovations is the introduction of WebNN Origin Trial, an initiative aimed at integrating neural networks directly within the browser.

WebNN Origin Trial

WebNN Origin Trial represents a significant step forward for running machine learning models directly in the browser. This approach could open up new opportunities for web applications that require local inference capabilities, reducing reliance on remote servers and improving user privacy. The initiative follows the release of Chrome version 145, which introduced support for the JPEG-XL format, demonstrating Google's continued commitment to browser innovation.

For those evaluating on-premise deployment of AI solutions, there are trade-offs to consider carefully. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
