Using Transformers.js for AI in the Browser

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending, and speaking at, connect.tech. One of the cooler presentations I saw was from Danielle Maxwell where she discussed using AI in the browser and introduced me to Transformers.js. I'd heard of this before, but wasn't quite aware of how easy it was to use. While this isn't necessarily going to replace a "real" GenAI server, it does feel compelling enough to something to consider. As my readers know, I've been playing with Chrome's attempt to bake this in as well, and while that's not quite ready for real use yet, Transformers.js feels like something you could play with right now. .
