I added an offline search engine to app.wazzup.im/search (no login or payment required).

First search downloads the model from the internet and subsequent runs are from the cache.

The model is very small so it's not the best for everything but it's good for basic math and coding.

Give it a try.



In Safari, stuck on:

Loading model... + Loading search results...

Or sometimes "Service Worker API is available and in use." + "Loading search results...".

Also does not work in Firefox 152.0.6 (aarch64). Due to WebGPU issue.

This is a known issue and I am actively trying to find why this is happening. So far it's pretty good on Brave/Chrome.

Tested on Macbook Pro M1 8gb RAM and Macbook Air M1 8gb RAM. Mostly likely because of M series of chips. All tests were done on Brave/Chrome.

Does not work on iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro. Mostly likely because of A series of chips. Tests were done on Safari and Chrome and it crashes on both.

ohh thanks for the report.. probably has to do with wasm runtime.. Will note this as a known issue

Np!

The workaround is to unregister/stop the service worker from the DevTools > Application tab > Service workers.
