Show HN: Apple's Sharp Running in the Browser via ONNX Runtime Web | Hacker News

A developer ported Apple’s SHARP single-image 3D Gaussian splatting model to the browser using ONNX Runtime Web and WebGPU.

Users can upload an image and generate a .ply file locally, with preview and download options, without sending the image to a server.

The demo reduces latency and keeps images on-device, but the large sidecar model makes initial loading slow.

The released weights are restricted to research use, so licensing remains a key limitation.
