- Why it was chosen
- The 207 open-source WebGPU kernels and measured comparisons with ORT WebGPU indicate the scope for optimising browser-based inference.
A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
