It can be converted, and can be fairly fast, see Tensorflow.js or https://jott.live/markdown/m1_webgpu_perf https://jott.live/markdown/m1_webgpu_perf. However the any “web” standard will always be a subset of what the hardware can truly provide because it has to support ALL GPU vendors. For example leveraging Nvidia Tensor Cores or Apple’s neural accelerator is not possible. For ML training and inference this means that any webGPU implementation is at least ~3x slower (likely much more) vs an optimized CUDA implementation.

That's not necessarily true, WebGL for example supports extensions.

  Correct, but I don’t see Firefox or Chrome bothering to add tensor core support.
