WebLLM always processes on Intel UHD Graphics, not on NVIDIA T1200

Hi!

I could not find any other forum to post this, so I will write it here: I am trying to use WebLLM via a Chromium-based Browser (I am developing an Add-In for Outlook, which uses Blink WebView under the hood). So far, the Web-LLM works, but it always processes on my Graphic Chip and leaves my GPU untouched. How could this behaviour be configured?

Thank you so far for your effort!

I have the exact same question.

would be great if you can check https://webgpureport.org/ and send a screen shot, it may have to do with how we order adapters

[Iternal-JBH4]

You can force Chrome in windows to use the more powerful GPU by going to the Display>Graphics>Apps page, adding chrome, clicking options, and setting to use dedicated GPU.

Not an ideal outcome but how it works right now

Also ran into this on Windows 10 and 11, Chrome, Edge, and Brave all only give the low power gpu, even if you request with the high-performance powerPreference. You can verify this from the js console by opening DevTools and running

const adapter = await navigator.gpu.requestAdapter({powerPreference: 'high-performance'})

and inspecting the result.

Note: The powerPreference IS honored on Mac OSX
