The tutorial covers building a complete HTML/JS application that loads a quantized (q4f16) ONNX version of Gemma 4, handles image and audio inputs via URL or file upload (using FileReader and Web Audio API), checks for WebGPU support, streams generated tokens in real time with TextStreamer, and caches model weights in the browser for faster subsequent runs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
