Hugging Face releases @huggingface/kernels, a library for loading and running optimized WebGPU kernels from the Hub, along with an initial collection of 207 kernels and Fleet, an in-browser benchmarking tool.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://huggingface.co/blog/webgpu-kernels:

> 207 WebGPU kernels , published as individual repositories in the webgpu-kernels organization. Apache-2.0 licensed. A JavaScript loader , @huggingface/kernels , which downloads, prepares, and runs kernels directly from the Hub. Explicit contracts and reproducible evidence for every kernel, including manifests, correctness tests, benchmark cases, and WGSL shader templates. Fleet , a browser-based benchmarking tool that crowdsources correctness and performance evidence across real-world GPUs to help us improve kernels and their variants.
