Vercel open-sources vgpu, a WebGPU library for agents that renders shaders everywhere
johnlindquist · x · 2026-08-27
Vercel has open-sourced vgpu, the WebGPU library it uses to ship shaders, designed for agents with Prompt/CLI/Skill/MCP integration (npx vgpu, npx skills add vercel-labs/vgpu, ready-made MCP endpoint).
- One shader, render everywhere: the same shader runs interactively in the browser, renders headless at any resolution (e.g. 8192×4608 PNG, 60fps video), or runs render tests with snapshot comparison in CI
- Shader code that scales: import/export WGSL modules like TypeScript; vgpu resolves the module graph, reflects bindings, strips unused declarations, and emits compact output at build time (example compiles to 397 B)
