I've been experimenting with a compiler/runtime project that I'm not entirely sure is a good idea, so I'd love some feedback from people who've worked on deployment systems. The idea is to compile an exported PyTorch model into a self-contained package that contains: graph binary weights backend kernels (currently WGSL) runtime metadata A lightweight runtime loads that package and executes it directly in the browser with WebGPU. No Python, no server inference, and no dependency on a heavyweight runtime. Right now the attached demos are just neural video representations because they were easy to test, but the motivation is actually operator networks and scientific ML, where I like the idea of distributing a single portable artifact. The repo is here: https://github.com/Slater-Victoroff/Kuma I'm mostly looking for architectural feedback. Some questions I'm wrestling with: Is embedding backend kernels in the artifact a terrible idea? Is this solving a real deployment problem or just reinventing ONNX Runtime? Are there existing systems I should study that take a similar approach? If you were designing a deployment format today, what would you change? I'd especially appreciate thoughts from people who've worked on ONNX, IREE, TVM, ExecuTorch, MLIR, or similar compiler/runtime projects. submitted by /u/svictoroff [link] [留言]
