LiteRT.js pushes AI inference into the browser

Google introduced LiteRT.js for browser-side AI inference across WebGPU, WebNN, and WebAssembly, with examples for running compatible models without a server round trip. Why it matters: Client-side inference can reduce latency, hosting cost, and data exposure for lightweight AI features, but production value depends on model fit and browser support.

Try this: Prototype one small classification, extraction, or assistant feature locally in the browser, then compare load time, latency, and privacy tradeoffs against a hosted API call.
