WebGPU lands in Safari

Apple has just enabled WebGPU by default in Safari 18.4. This is major news for anyone working on browser-based AI.

What it changes

Until now, WebGPU was only available on Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave). Safari users had to manually enable an experimental flag. Now WebGPU is available natively, which means:

  • More users — iPhone, iPad, and Mac users can now use applications like Oh my AI! without switching browsers.
  • Apple Silicon GPUs — Safari directly leverages M1/M2/M3/M4 GPUs, offering excellent performance for local inference.
  • Broader ecosystem — Developers can target WebGPU with confidence, knowing all major browsers support it.

Impact for Oh my AI!

This is great news for our project. Oh my AI! will now work natively on Safari, opening access to millions of additional Apple users.
