Guest blog post on Cross-Origin Storage in Transformers.js

I'm very excited to share a guest post I wrote for the Hugging Face 🤗 blog! The post is called 👉 Experimenting with the proposed Cross-Origin Storage API in Transformers.js 👈! This proposed new browser API, navigator.crossOriginStorage.requestFileHandle(hash), has the potential of revolutionizing the Web, a little bit at least. Learn more by reading the Explainer for the Cross-Origin Storage (COS) API. And Transformers.js aren't alone with experimenting with this, they're joined by WebLLM (docs), wllama (code), Flutter (code), and Emscripten (docs). In a nutshell, this is the usual flow of using the API: const hash = { algorithm: 'SHA-256', value: '8f434346648f6b96df89dda901c5176b10a6d83961dd3c1ac88b59b2dc327aa4', }; try { const handle = await navigator.crossOriginStorage.requestFileHandle(hash); // Cache hit! Get the file as a Blob and use it directly. const fileBlob = await handle.getFile(); } catch { // Cache miss. Download from network, then store for next time. const fileBlob =…
