Hi, since about a week ago, WebLLLM has stopped working. Every time I try to test it, or some extension tries to use it, it shows an error message that WebGPU is not supported in the browser.

Which isn't the case, I use the latest Chrome in Windows with an NVIDIA 3090 card. Also checking in webgpureport.org says that my browser supports WebGPU, so I assume it's WebLLM that doesn't see it?

I've reinstalled it but it didn't make any difference.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I really don't know what I can do.

I've seen a recommendation to enable the "Force High Performance" flag in Chrome.

I found the reason, though I'm not exactly sure how it matters, I guess some browser stupid security thing: My SillyTavern instance runs in a Docker container, and I configured it recently so that it is accessible from other devices in my LAN. But if I open SillyTavern's start page with http://10.0.10.1:8000 (my PC's LAN IP) from the same PC it runs, WebGPU won't work and throws the above error. If I open the same page, from the same browser but as localhost:8000, the problem disappears. Not sure what the connection is, but in any case the issue is resolved.

Thanks for replying :)

Yeah, that's likely the case. WebGPU requires secure context: either localhost, or HTTPS.
