WebGPU is a JavaScript API provided by a web browser that enables webpage scripts to efficiently utilize a device's graphics processing unit (GPU). This is achieved with the underlying Vulkan, Metal, or Direct3D 12 system APIs. On relevant devices, WebGPU is intended to supersede the older WebGL standard.[1]

Google Chrome enabled initial WebGPU support in April 2023.[1][2] Safari and Firefox have not yet enabled theirs.[2] The W3C standard is thus in the working draft phase.
