Sipp launches local-first runtime for hybrid AI apps
Sipp is a new runtime that lets developers run AI models locally in browsers via WebGPU, with fallback to cloud endpoints. It supports query, chat, and embed operations across local, gateway, and provider endpoints. The project builds on contributions to llama.cpp's WebGPU backend and aims to make intelligence more accessible by splitting workloads between local and remote models.

Sipp's hybrid approach is pragmatic, but its success hinges on whether developers adopt yet another runtime and whether local WebGPU inference can match the reliability of cloud APIs.
