Why Convert Models to WebAssembly?

Secure Execution

WebAssembly provides memory-safe execution environments for machine learning models directly in web browsers and native apps.

Cross-Platform

Deploy your AI models consistently across all supported platforms without worrying about underlying execution differences.

Conversion Workflow

1

Install CLI

npm install -g @wasm-ai/cli
                        

Installs the WasmAI command-line interface to your system path.

2

Convert Model

wasm-ai convert model.onnx --platform browser
                        

Convert ONNX/TensorFlow/PyTorch models to WebAssembly for browser deployment.

3

Optimize

wasm-ai optimize ./converted-model.wasm
                        

Optimize code and reduce memory footprint of compiled models.

Supported Model Formats

🧠

Tensorflow

.pb, .ckpt

🐍

PyTorch

.pt, .pth

📦

ONNX

.onnx

Custom model formats

Security-Optimized Conversion

Memory Protection

  • Isolated stack execution
  • Secure heap management

Conversion CLI Flags

--platform browser
--optimize memory-safety
--secure --no-debug

Use these flags to enforce secure conversion and runtime constraints.

Performance Tips

📉

Reduce Memory

Use the --optimize flag to reduce memory usage by 30% or more.

Faster Parsing

Enable --simd for SIMD-optimized inference paths.

🔍

Verify

Validate converted models with wasm-ai verify before deployment.
