Suggestion: publish a live demo of the "needle playground". It's small enough that it should be pretty cheap to run this on a little VPS somewhere!

Should be quick and easy with WebGPU, too.
That's an even better idea, I bet this could run in Transformers.js.
Good idea. Could you make that.
Good idea. Could you ask a Claude Code to make that.

thanks, yeah, the problem is just handling scale, we don't have the infra ready to go, but anyone can do that. Its easy for people to run on their laptops straight up. Will try the VPS route.
Deployed it to a huggingface space: https://huggingface.co/spaces/benoitfavre/needle-playground
You can check the very simple docker file there.
Here's the Dockerfile, it's delightfully simple https://huggingface.co/spaces/benoitfavre/needle-playground/...
Thanks!
Try WASM, I bet every phone browser would run it. That would be killer demo!
Alternatively, record a video that showcases it.
Ok, will do that now!
