WebPizza AI - Private PDF Chat

I built a proof-of-concept for running RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) entirely in the browser using WebGPU. You can chat with PDF documents using models like Phi-3, Llama 3, or Mistral 7B - all running locally with zero backend. Documents never leave your device. Tech stack: - WebLLM + WeInfer (optimized fork with ~3.76x speedup) - Transformers.js for embeddings (all-MiniLM-L6-v2) - IndexedDB as vector store - PDF.js for parsing The main challenges were: 1. Getting esbuild to bundle without choking on onnxruntime-node 2. Managing COOP/COEP headers for SharedArrayBuffer 3. Keeping…

What it does

I built this POC to test if complete RAG pipelines could run entirely client-side using WebGPU. Key difference: zero server dependency. PDF parsing, embeddings, vector search, and LLM inference all happen in your browser. Select a model (Llama, Phi-3, Mistral), upload a PDF, ask questions. Documents stay local in IndexedDB. Works offline once models are cached. Integrated WeInfer optimization achieving ~3.76x speedup over standard WebLLM through buffer reuse and async pipeline processing.

  • I built a free in-browser Llama 3 chatbot powered by WebGPU2024 · github.com · ▲547

    I spent the last few days building out a nicer ChatGPT-like interface to use Mistral 7B and Llama 3 fully within a browser (no deps and installs). I’ve used the WebLLM project by MLC AI for a while to interact with LLMs in the browser when handling sensitive data but I found their UI quite lacking for serious use so I built a much better interface around WebLLM. I’ve been using it as a therapist and coach. And it’s wonderful knowing that my personal information never leaves my local computer. Should work on Desktop with Chrome or Edge. Other browsers are adding WebGPU support as well - see…

    In-Browser Graph RAG with Kuzu-WASM and WebLLM2025 · blog.kuzudb.com · ▲158

    We show the potential of modern, embedded graph databases in the browser by demonstrating a fully in-browser chatbot that can perform Graph RAG using Kuzu (the graph database we're building) and WebLLM, a popular in-browser inference engine for LLMs. The post retrieves from the graph via a Text-to-Cypher pipeline that translates a user question into a Cypher query, and the LLM uses the retrieved results to synthesize a response. As LLMs get better, and WebGPU and Wasm64 become more widely adopted, we expect to be able to do more and more in the browser in combination with LLMs, so a lot of…

  • Turn any website into a knowledge base for LLMs2024 · embedding.io · ▲305

    I built this tool because I wanted a way to just take a bunch of URLs or domains, and query their content in RAG applications. It takes away the pain of crawling, extracting content, chunking, vectorizing, and updating periodically. I'm curious to see if it can be useful to others. I meant to launch this six months ago but life got in the way...

  • RAGstack – private ChatGPT for enterprise VPCs, built with Llama 22023 · github.com · ▲84

    Hey hacker news, We’re the cofounders at Psychic.dev (http://psychic.dev) where we help companies connect LLMs to private data. With the launch of Llama 2, we think it’s finally viable to self-host an internal application that’s on-par with ChatGPT, so we did exactly that and made it an open source project. We also included a vector DB and API server so you can upload files and connect Llama 2 to your own data. The RAG in RAGstack stands for Retrieval Augmented Generation, a technique where the capabilities of a large language model (LLM) are augmented by retrieving information…
