WebAssembly++ – Build AI-driven applications for browser, edge, and server(less)

WebAssembly (Wasm) is changing how AI models work on different platforms. Christian is exploring how Wasm lets us run AI in web browsers, utilizing tools like WebNN for neural network APIs, WebGPU for accelerated calculations, and ONNX Runtime for cross-platform model inferencing. Discover transformative libraries such as transformers.js for executing pre-trained models for Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Audio, or even Multimodal scenarios. You'll see how Wasm is used not just in browsers but also in edge and server computing. Technologies like WASI-NN brings neural network capabilities to WebAssembly System Interface (WASI), and WasmEdge offers a high-performance runtime for running AI code on edge devices. Last but not least, Serverless AI approaches reshape how we deploy AI models with minimal overhead and maximum efficiency. Join Christian to unlock the potential of AI models - like Whisper, Mistral, Llama2, or Llava - in your applications with the power and flexibility of the WebAssembly ecosystem. There is a world beyond OpenAI & GPT.

One of the more pragmatic ways to get going on the current AI hype, and to get some value out of it, is by leveraging semantic search. This is, in itself, a relatively simple concept: You have a bunch of documents and want to find the correct one based on a given query. The semantic part now allows you to find the correct document based on the meaning of its contents, in contrast to simply finding words or parts of words in it like we usually do with lexical search. In our last projects, we gathered some experience with search bots, and with this article, I'd love to share our insights with you.

If you previously wanted to integrate view transitions into your Angular application, this was only possible in a very cumbersome way that needed a lot of detailed knowledge about Angular internals. Now, Angular 17 introduced a feature to integrate the View Transition API with the router. In this two-part series, we will look at how to leverage the feature for route transitions and how we could use it for single-page animations.

.NET 8 brings Native AOT to ASP.NET Core, but many frameworks and libraries rely on unbound reflection internally and thus cannot support this scenario yet. This is true for ORMs, too: EF Core and Dapper will only bring full support for Native AOT in later releases. In this post, we will implement a database access layer with Sessions using the Humble Object pattern to get a similar developer experience. We will use Npgsql as a plain ADO.NET provider targeting PostgreSQL.

Originally introduced in .NET 7, Native AOT can be used with ASP.NET Core in the upcoming .NET 8 release. In this post, we look at the benefits and drawbacks from a general perspective and perform measurements to quantify the improvements on different platforms.
