Google released LiteRT.js on July 9, 2026. It is a JavaScript binding of LiteRT, Google’s on-device inference library. The runtime executes .tflite models directly in the browser through WebAssembly, with XNNPACK on CPU, ML Drift over WebGPU, and experimental WebNN for NPUs. Google reports up to 3x gains over other web runtimes, and 5–60x for GPU or NPU over its own CPU path. One detail the announcement omits: tensors are manually managed and must be deleted.

We build a Gin Config controlled PyTorch pipeline where the training code stays fixed and the experiment variables move into .gin files. We construct a nonlinear spiral binary classification task and define a configurable MLP with scoped architectural variants. We expose the optimizer, scheduler, loss, batching, seeding, and training loop through @gin.configurable bindings. We then run two scoped experiments, apply runtime overrides without editing source, and export the operative config for each run.
