Architecture Guides

Comparisons that explain tradeoffs instead of pretending one model fits every workflow

These pages are written to clarify architecture decisions, not to attack competitors. Local AI, browser inference, and server orchestration each solve different problems. The useful question is which tradeoff matches the job in front of you.

Cloud vs local transcription

Privacy, upload time, shared dashboards, predictable cost, and why mandatory uploads are not always the best starting point.

WebGPU vs WASM AI

Acceleration versus portability, and why a serious browser product usually needs both execution paths.

Browser AI vs server AI

Latency, control, operational complexity, and what changes when the browser becomes the runtime instead of a client.
