Transcript
Huge news for the web community. A very important WebKit update, a Safari update, which is going to support WebGPU. Oh, I saw that. Yeah, that's right. That's a big one. We have WebGL. For those who might not know, WebGL is a technology. It's a JavaScript API in the browser. You use that to draw graphical elements. So, think of any 3D website that you see. It's rendered essentially using WebGL. But WebGL is an old technology and there is a newer one called WebGPU named very similarly but WebGPU is up to 10 times faster and with WebGPU you can do multi-thread computing. So you can utilize the graphics card on a machine and also you can do multi-threading. So that's going to speed up a lot of crazy 3D stuff that you could do on the web. And not just that, we can now make them for Safari. They will run smoother on Safari and things like this. So it's a huge news for the web community, especially those who are interested in creating like 3D and uh like rich experiences. What's the support elsewhere? So we've got it in Chrome, we've got it in Edge. I mean, they're saying no here, but like I guess this is what they're talking about, the technology preview. So, it's coming, but we already have it here. So, I wonder why this one's making a bit of a splash. Well, if it's not available on Safari, it means it's not available on any iPhone. This is what most people don't know. The Google Chrome that you have on your iPhone or on your iPad, it's not Google. It's not Chrome. It's just Safari with Google Chrome skin on top of it. Underneath it's the Safari engine. So, so far WebGPU was not supported. Uh, doesn't matter if you open it in Google Chrome on your phone or on Safari, it's the same thing. That's why this adoption, it's a huge one. And I see a lot of people in this space very happy with this, very excited because now they can build more crazy stuff. This is part of a larger conversation on my show, Command AI, which we stream live every single week. We discuss the news and all things related to AI in the world of design and web. Catch us next week and join in the banter.
