Fact
WebGPU is a low-level API for accessing modern GPU capabilities in the browser. It creates room for rendering, compute work, and visualizations that previously leaned on native apps or less direct browser paths.
Analysis
For Dehypei, that matters because it turns the browser into a lab. A page can stop being only a reading surface and become a small graphical environment with simulations, filters, heatmaps, and interfaces that react to the user.
Opinion
The interesting claim is not that everything becomes WebGPU. The point is that the web gains a new expressive layer, and that is powerful for teaching: you can explain technology while showing the phenomenon in motion.
