At Carter Labs, we've made a strategic decision to focus on browser-based AI experiences. Here's why we believe the browser is the future of AI applications.
The Power of the Web
The web browser has evolved from a simple document viewer to a powerful application platform. Modern browsers support:
- WebGL for 3D graphics
- WebAssembly for near-native performance
- WebRTC for real-time communication
- Web Workers for parallel processing
- WebGPU for hardware acceleration
Accessibility First
Browser-based applications offer unparalleled accessibility:
- No Installation Required: Users can start immediately
- Cross-Platform: Works on any device with a browser
- Instant Updates: No need to download and install updates
- Lower Barrier to Entry: Familiar interface for users
AI in the Browser
Recent advancements have made it possible to run sophisticated AI models directly in the browser:
- TensorFlow.js and similar libraries for model inference
- WebGPU for hardware-accelerated computation
- WebAssembly for efficient model execution
- Streaming capabilities for real-time AI interactions
Our Approach
At Carter Labs, we're leveraging these technologies to create immersive AI experiences:
- Real-time character interactions
- Browser-based voice processing
- Efficient model serving and caching
- Progressive Web App capabilities
Looking Forward
The browser platform continues to evolve, and we're excited about upcoming technologies:
- WebGPU adoption and optimization
- New WebAssembly features
- Improved mobile capabilities
- Enhanced privacy features
We believe that betting on the browser is not just about technology—it's about making AI accessible to everyone, everywhere.
