Creating Versatile AI Agents Through Wasm+Rust
summary
Claim: compile Rust into WebAssembly to run open-source LLMs as tiny, portable services. Uses WasmEdge runtime, WASI/WASI‑NN + WebGPU and integrates Hugging Face GGUF models (demo downloads Gemma 2B and starts a local OpenAI‑compatible API server). Binary sizes drop to ~30 MB versus ~4 GB Python stacks, runtime is markedly faster and sandboxed, and the demo runs locally but fails to bind on a remote box due to port/memory contention. Docker collaboration aims to orchestrate the same WASM apps across GPUs and CPUs.
