Why it surfaced

Brimkern combines handwritten WGSL kernels, resumable HTTP-range loading, device-side caching, and offline execution without a server or API key. Its unusually concrete promise is backed by live measurements, including a claimed 47.2 tokens per second on a 7B int4 model and a 15.8-second reload from cache.
