AI Summary
A major overhaul of the engine and API architecture, introducing OpenAI compatibility, expanded model support, and WebGPU performance improvements.
Key Highlights
- Engine and API overhaul with ChatModule refactoring
- OpenAI API mirroring support (chat/completions, embeddings, function calling)
- Expanded prebuilt model support (Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Qwen, Phi)
- WebGPU performance and reliability improvements
- XGrammar integration for constrained generation
New Features
- Engine and API overhaul (ChatModule refactored)
- OpenAI API mirroring (chat/completions, embeddings, function calling)
- Unified conversation template schema with custom templates
- Expanded prebuilt model support (Llama 2/3/3.1/3.2, Mistral variants, Gemma 2, Qwen2/2.5/3, Phi family)
- WebGPU performance/reliability improvements
- XGrammar integration for JSON-schema/grammar-constrained generation
- Support for IndexedDB caching
- TVM-FFI refactoring for compatibility
- ServiceWorkerEngine and updated Chrome extension demos
Full Release Notes
* Engine and API overhaul: ChatModule refactored into Engine/MLCEngine, consolidated constructor/reload behavior, multi-model loading, better worker lifecycle, concurrency handling * OpenAI API: mirror chat/completions APIs, stateful options, function calling and embeddings support * Conversation templates: unified conversation template schema with custom templates * Expanded prebuilt model support: added support for more models (Llama 2/3/3.1/3.2, Mistral variants, Gemma 2, Qwen2/2.5/3, Phi family, including vision) * Runtime and caching: WebGPU performance/reliability improvements (more GPU-side kernels, better OOM/deviceLost handling), wasm/prebuilt versioning updates, support IndexedDB caching * XGrammar integration: JSON-schema/grammar-constrained generation, XGrammar structural tag * TVM-FFI integration: refactor for compatibility with more recent TVM commits and TVM FFI * Examples: ServiceWorkerEngine + updated Chrome extension demos, new RAG/doc-chat examples, tool calls via structural tag * CI: GitHub actions for linting and pre-commit hooks **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/mlc-ai/web-llm/compare/v0.2.0...v0.2.81
