AI Speed Boost: New Update Makes AI Count Faster on Any Device
Your phone's AI just got quicker at a common task, saving time and battery.
Deep Dive
The ggml WebGPU backend now has COUNT_EQUAL support, according to the article. The changes include reducing small COUNT_EQUAL inputs in one dispatch, simplifying COUNT_EQUAL and reusing existing tests, and moving the COUNT_EQUAL pipeline cache declaration.
Tests were also simplified for COUNT_EQUAL coverage. The work is credited with "Assisted-by: Codex" and co-authored by Masashi Yoshimura.
