Impressive, fun style transfer demo
From 3 comments
Very nice work, folks. Impressive, and very well-put-together demo. That's the easiest neural style transfer demo I've ever used - and the most fun. (Other than a minute of…
dgacmu on HNIt's quite unreal. I remember when the paper and initial implementations came out less than 2 years ago, you had to go through this really long setup process that only worked on…
ehsankia on HNThis is amazing. Very cool.

Fast inference speed
From 2 comments
Amazing work! That was incredibly fast (2013 MBA 13" 1.7 GHz i7, Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB, Chrome 59).
cpcarey on HNInference speed looks brilliant. Eager to read the source! (Also, somehow I had a feeling before even reading that this project was by the people who made Project Naptha etc.…

Objections
Demo crashed or froze browsers and machines
From 4 comments
Hmm, this seems to lock up & crash my whole browser (Chrome 59, windows, nvidia graphics) when I try to run any of the examples. It gets past Downloading Network, then gets about…
hughes on HNDidn't work here, just a bunch of colored squares on Safari, Chrome or Firefox. The latter actually managed to hang my machine. I could ssh to it but kill -9 wouldn't terminate…
tambourine_man on HNhey, stop it. i'm running 55.0b13 (64-bit) firefox on windows 10 and clicking on that demo froze the browser, froze my box - hard reboot. whatever you're doing some of it's…
synt on HNRespect. This pretty much killed the PC I'm on now. Wasn't even able to get to the task manager :D Windows7, Firefox 54(64bit)

Failed to upload large images or download results
From 2 comments
If I upload a 6MB image from my Canon, the site/browser (chrome) crashes. Example images work fine.
NKCSS on HNThis is really cool! Great work! I wanted to download the resulting image but got a "Failed - Network" error :(

Speed claims over GPU are misleading
From 1 comment
This is actually what I'd expect, but the website feels quite misleading. Advertising that a GPU-based approach can outbeat a CPU for neural nets is not a very strong commercial…

Benchmark comparisons
From 2 comments
Do you have benchmark number like FLOPS compared to GPU / CPU?
mzh0 on HNHow does it compare to WebDNN[0]? It seems like a closer comparison, especially with WebGPU. It would be good if you had a comparative benchmark on the website. [0]:…

How does it compare to keras-js and WebDNN

Really cool demo. How does this compare to https://github.com/transcranial/keras-js ? Do the authors have a licence in mind?
