ZIPP v0.0.18

ZIPP 0.0.18

Release candidate notes; not evidence of a published release.

JavaScript and experimental Python now share ZIPP's browser VM, with a folder-based
playground, CPU tensor operations and an explicit browser GPU execution path.

Downloads

• zipp-wasm-0.0.18-web.zip: JavaScript-only browser engine, TypeScript bindings and Worker host SDK.
• zipp-wasm-0.0.18-web-python.zip: JavaScript + Python, with the browser GPU adapter, CPU WASM kernels and Torch compatibility guide.
• Native x86-64 CLI archives for Windows and Linux: JavaScript + experimental Python. A source build with --no-default-features produces a JavaScript-only CLI.

Every WASM archive includes BUILD-INFO.txt, PROFILE.json and SHA256SUMS.
Publishing requires CI and the full security workflow at the exact tagged commit.

What's new

• Load Python project folders, packages, arguments and binary data into the playground; inspect console, graphics and explicit versioned virtual-file changes.
• Write supported tensor programs with import torch, including CPU Conv2d/autograd and dense GPU forward/backward/SGD steps.
• Execute supported graphs on WebGPU, WebGL2, CPU WASM or JavaScript; training checks compare gradients, weights and loss against PyTorch reference values.
• Explore an interactive Game of Life with portable Torch rules, looping recordings and the embedded /playground/ route.
• Updated React 19.3 and Vite 8.3 landing dependencies.

Experimental boundaries

This is a Python and Torch subset, not CPython or a drop-in PyTorch installation.
GPU torch.compile() returns a submission object with asynchronous submit()
callbacks, rather than the normal synchronous PyTorch result. Supported dense
training uses float32 and SGD without momentum; GPU Conv2d training, CUDA,
multi-GPU pooling and persistent compiled models are not provided. Each call
still captures, uploads, executes and reads back. See the
Torch compatibility guide.

Same-VM Python/JavaScript interoperability remains a separate opt-in source build
(python-js-interop); neither prebuilt WASM archive enables it. Native NCA
experiments stay in neuralautomata.com.
