This looks very cool.

Does the WebGL integration mean it doesn't require installation of CUDA or cuDNN on the machine it's running on? That's currently the most difficult part by far of getting GPU-enabled TensorFlow up and running in Python.

Additionally, can it work with non-NVIDIA GPUs? That is another fairly stringent current limitation for those that don't want to cough up the dough for an NVIDIA card or pay for cloud service.

It does not require CUDA or cuDNN on the client machine, it should work on most GPUs (even mobile) but won't be as performant as CUDA / cuDNN.
