-
-## Overview
-
-WebLLM is a high-performance in-browser LLM inference engine that brings language model inference directly onto web browsers with hardware acceleration.
-Everything runs inside the browser with no server support and is accelerated with WebGPU.
-
-WebLLM is **fully compatible with [OpenAI API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat).**
-That is, you can use the same OpenAI API on **any open source models** locally, with functionalities
-including streaming, JSON-mode, function-calling (WIP), etc.
-
-We can bring a lot of fun opportunities to build AI assistants for everyone and enable privacy while enjoying GPU acceleration.
-
-You can use WebLLM as a base [npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mlc-ai/web-llm) and build your own web application on top of it by following the examples below. This project is a companion project of [MLC LLM](https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm), which enables universal deployment of LLM across hardware environments.

-
-## Get Started
-
-WebLLM offers a minimalist and modular interface to access the chatbot in the browser.
-The package is designed in a modular way to hook to any of the UI components.
-
-### Installation
-
-#### Package Manager
-
-```sh
-# npm
-npm install @mlc-ai/web-llm
-# yarn
-yarn add @mlc-ai/web-llm
-# or pnpm
-pnpm install @mlc-ai/web-llm
+```bash
+npm install web-llm-runner
 ```
 
-Then import the module in your code.
+## Quick Start
+```javascript
+import { WebLLM } from "web-llm-runner";
 
-```typescript
-// Import everything
-import * as webllm from "@mlc-ai/web-llm";
-// Or only import what you need
-import { CreateMLCEngine } from "@mlc-ai/web-llm";
+const llm = new WebLLM();
 ```
 
-#### CDN Delivery
+---
+
+## ⚡ Core API Endpoints
 
-Thanks to [jsdelivr.com](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/@mlc-ai/web-llm), WebLLM can be imported directly through URL and work out-of-the-box on cloud development platforms like [jsfiddle.net](https://jsfiddle.net/), [Codepen.io](https://codepen.io/), and [Scribbler](https://scribbler.live):
+This library simplifies entirely complicated WebGPU setup schemas into fully abstracted, clean endpoints. 
 
+### 1. `models_available` (Static Property)
+Returns a string-array containing all pre-configured compatible model IDs.
 ```javascript
-import * as webllm from "https://esm.run/@mlc-ai/web-llm";
+console.log(llm.models_available);
+// ["Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-q4f32_1-1k", "TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-q4f16_1-MLC", ...]
 ```
 
-It can also be dynamically imported as:
-
+### 2. `local_model_available(model_id: string)` -> `Promise<boolean>`
+Checks if a specific model is successfully cached locally directly in the browser's IndexedDB.
 ```javascript
-const webllm = await import("https://esm.run/@mlc-ai/web-llm");
+const isCached = await llm.local_model_available("TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-q4f16_1-MLC");
 ```
 
-### Create MLCEngine
-
-Most operations in WebLLM are invoked through the `MLCEngine` interface. You can create an `MLCEngine` instance and loading the model by calling the `CreateMLCEngine()` factory function.
-
-(Note that loading models requires downloading and it can take a significant amount of time for the very first run without caching previously. You should properly handle this asynchronous call.)
-
-```typescript
-import { CreateMLCEngine } from "@mlc-ai/web-llm";
-
-// Callback function to update model loading progress
-const initProgressCallback = (initProgress) => {
-  console.log(initProgress);
-};
-const selectedModel = "Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-q4f32_1-MLC";
-
-const engine = await CreateMLCEngine(
-  selectedModel,
-  { initProgressCallback: initProgressCallback }, // engineConfig
+### 3. `download_model(model_id: string, progressCallback?: Function)` -> `Promise<void>`
+Initializes the monolithic Web Worker engine and downloads the chosen model iteratively straight to the WebGPU memory cache.
+```javascript
+await llm.download_model(
+  "TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-q4f16_1-MLC", 
+  (progressText) => console.log(progressText) // e.g., "Loading... 24%"
 );
 ```
 
-Under the hood, this factory function does the following steps for first creating an engine instance (synchronous) and then loading the model (asynchronous). You can also do them separately in your application.
-
-```typescript
-import { MLCEngine } from "@mlc-ai/web-llm";
-
-// This is a synchronous call that returns immediately
-const engine = new MLCEngine({
-  initProgressCallback: initProgressCallback,
-});
-
-// This is an asynchronous call and can take a long time to finish
-await engine.reload(selectedModel);
-```
-
-### Cache Backend Policy
-
-WebLLM supports three cache backends through `AppConfig.cacheBackend`:
-
-- `"cache"`: browser [Cache API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Cache) (default).
-- `"indexeddb"`: browser [IndexedDB](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API).
-- `"cross-origin"`: experimental Chrome [Cross-Origin Storage API](https://github.com/WICG/cross-origin-storage) extension backend. Install the [Cross-Origin Storage extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cross-origin-storage/denpnpcgjgikjpoglpjefakmdcbmlgih) to use it. (If the extension isn't installed, WebLLM falls back to the default cache automatically.)
-
-Example:
-
-```typescript
-import { CreateMLCEngine, prebuiltAppConfig } from "@mlc-ai/web-llm";
-
-const appConfig = { ...prebuiltAppConfig, cacheBackend: "cross-origin" };
-const engine = await CreateMLCEngine("Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-q4f32_1-MLC", {
-  appConfig,
-});
-```
-
-Notes:
-- The `"cross-origin"` backend requires installing and enabling a compatible browser extension.
-- Cross-origin backend currently does not support programmatic tensor-cache deletion; clearing is extension-managed.
-
-### Chat Completion
-
-After successfully initializing the engine, you can now invoke chat completions using OpenAI style chat APIs through the `engine.chat.completions` interface. For the full list of parameters and their descriptions, check [section below](#full-openai-compatibility) and [OpenAI API reference](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create).
-
-(Note: The `model` parameter is not supported and will be ignored here. Instead, call `CreateMLCEngine(model)` or `engine.reload(model)` instead as shown in the [Create MLCEngine](#create-mlcengine) above.)
-
-```typescript
-const messages = [
-  { role: "system", content: "You are a helpful AI assistant." },
-  { role: "user", content: "Hello!" },
-];
-
-const reply = await engine.chat.completions.create({
-  messages,
-});
-console.log(reply.choices[0].message);
-console.log(reply.usage);
-```
-
-### Streaming
-
-WebLLM also supports streaming chat completion generating. To use it, simply pass `stream: true` to the `engine.chat.completions.create` call.
-
-```typescript
-const messages = [
-  { role: "system", content: "You are a helpful AI assistant." },
-  { role: "user", content: "Hello!" },
-];
-
-// Chunks is an AsyncGenerator object
-const chunks = await engine.chat.completions.create({
-  messages,
-  temperature: 1,
-  stream: true, // <-- Enable streaming
-  stream_options: { include_usage: true },
-});
-
-let reply = "";
-for await (const chunk of chunks) {
-  reply += chunk.choices[0]?.delta.content || "";
-  console.log(reply);
-  if (chunk.usage) {
-    console.log(chunk.usage); // only last chunk has usage
-  }
-}
-
-const fullReply = await engine.getMessage();
-console.log(fullReply);
-```
-
-## Advanced Usage
-
-### Using Workers
-
-You can put the heavy computation in a worker script to optimize your application performance. To do so, you need to:
-
-1. Create a handler in the worker thread that communicates with the frontend while handling the requests.
-2. Create a Worker Engine in your main application, which under the hood sends messages to the handler in the worker thread.
-
-For detailed implementations of different kinds of Workers, check the following sections.
-
-#### Dedicated Web Worker
-
-WebLLM comes with API support for WebWorker so you can hook
-the generation process into a separate worker thread so that
-the computing in the worker thread won't disrupt the UI.
-
-We create a handler in the worker thread that communicates with the frontend while handling the requests.
-
-```typescript
-// worker.ts
-import { WebWorkerMLCEngineHandler } from "@mlc-ai/web-llm";
-
-// A handler that resides in the worker thread
-const handler = new WebWorkerMLCEngineHandler();
-self.onmessage = (msg: MessageEvent) => {
-  handler.onmessage(msg);
-};
-```
-
-In the main logic, we create a `WebWorkerMLCEngine` that
-implements the same `MLCEngineInterface`. The rest of the logic remains the same.
-
-```typescript
-// main.ts
-import { CreateWebWorkerMLCEngine } from "@mlc-ai/web-llm";
-
-async function main() {
-  // Use a WebWorkerMLCEngine instead of MLCEngine here
-  const engine = await CreateWebWorkerMLCEngine(
-    new Worker(new URL("./worker.ts", import.meta.url), {
-      type: "module",
-    }),
-    selectedModel,
-    { initProgressCallback }, // engineConfig
-  );
-
-  // everything else remains the same
-}
-```
-
-### Use Service Worker
-
-WebLLM comes with API support for ServiceWorker so you can hook the generation process
-into a service worker to avoid reloading the model in every page visit and optimize
-your application's offline experience.
-
-(Note, Service Worker's life cycle is managed by the browser and can be killed any time without notifying the webapp. `ServiceWorkerMLCEngine` will try to keep the service worker thread alive by periodically sending heartbeat events, but your application should also include proper error handling. Check `keepAliveMs` and `missedHeatbeat` in [`ServiceWorkerMLCEngine`](https://github.com/mlc-ai/web-llm/blob/main/src/service_worker.ts#L234) for more details.)
-
-We create a handler in the worker thread that communicates with the frontend while handling the requests.
-
-```typescript
-// sw.ts
-import { ServiceWorkerMLCEngineHandler } from "@mlc-ai/web-llm";
-
-let handler: ServiceWorkerMLCEngineHandler;
-
-self.addEventListener("activate", function (event) {
-  handler = new ServiceWorkerMLCEngineHandler();
-  console.log("Service Worker is ready");
-});
-```
-
-Then in the main logic, we register the service worker and create the engine using
-`CreateServiceWorkerMLCEngine` function. The rest of the logic remains the same.
-
-```typescript
-// main.ts
-import {
-  MLCEngineInterface,
-  CreateServiceWorkerMLCEngine,
-} from "@mlc-ai/web-llm";
-
-if ("serviceWorker" in navigator) {
-  navigator.serviceWorker.register(
-    new URL("sw.ts", import.meta.url), // worker script
-    { type: "module" },
-  );
+### 4. `chat_stream(prompt: string)` -> `AsyncGenerator<string>`
+A **stateful**, streaming chatbot endpoint that innately saves & remembers previous conversational history locally. Yields chunks as they are generated.
+```javascript
+const generator = llm.chat_stream("Count from 1 to 5.");
+for await (const chunk of generator) {
+  console.log(chunk); 
 }
-
-const engine: MLCEngineInterface = await CreateServiceWorkerMLCEngine(
-  selectedModel,
-  { initProgressCallback }, // engineConfig
-);
-```
-
-You can find a complete example on how to run WebLLM in service worker in [examples/service-worker](examples/service-worker/).
-
-### Chrome Extension
-
-You can also find examples of building Chrome extension with WebLLM in [examples/chrome-extension](examples/chrome-extension/) and [examples/chrome-extension-webgpu-service-worker](examples/chrome-extension-webgpu-service-worker/). The latter one leverages service worker, so the extension is persistent in the background. Additionally, you can explore another full project of a Chrome extension, WebLLM Assistant, which leverages WebLLM [here](https://github.com/mlc-ai/web-llm-assistant).
-
-## Full OpenAI Compatibility
-
-WebLLM is designed to be fully compatible with [OpenAI API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat). Thus, besides building a simple chatbot, you can also have the following functionalities with WebLLM:
-
-- [streaming](examples/streaming): return output as chunks in real-time in the form of an AsyncGenerator
-- [json-mode](examples/json-mode): efficiently ensure output is in JSON format, see [OpenAI Reference](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation/chat-completions-api) for more.
-- [seed-to-reproduce](examples/seed-to-reproduce): use seeding to ensure a reproducible output with fields `seed`.
-- [function-calling](examples/function-calling) (WIP): function calling with fields `tools` and `tool_choice` (with preliminary support); or manual function calling without `tools` or `tool_choice` (keeps the most flexibility).
-
-## Integrity Verification
-
-WebLLM supports optional integrity verification for model artifacts using
-[SRI (Subresource Integrity)](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subresource_Integrity) hashes.
-When the `integrity` field is set on a `ModelRecord`, WebLLM will verify the downloaded config,
-WASM, and tokenizer files against the provided hashes before loading.
-
-```typescript
-import { CreateMLCEngine } from "@mlc-ai/web-llm";
-
-const appConfig = {
-  model_list: [
-    {
-      model: "https://huggingface.co/mlc-ai/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-q4f16_1-MLC",
-      model_id: "Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-q4f16_1-MLC",
-      model_lib:
-        "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/model-libs/main/model.wasm",
-      integrity: {
-        config: "sha256-<base64-hash-of-mlc-chat-config.json>",
-        model_lib: "sha256-<base64-hash-of-wasm-file>",
-        tokenizer: {
-          "tokenizer.json": "sha256-<base64-hash-of-tokenizer.json>",
-        },
-        onFailure: "error", // "error" (default) throws IntegrityError, "warn" logs and continues
-      },
-    },
-  ],
-};
-
-const engine = await CreateMLCEngine("Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-q4f16_1-MLC", {
-  appConfig,
-});
 ```
 
-You can generate SRI hashes for model files with:
-
-```bash
-# SHA-256
-openssl dgst -sha256 -binary <file> | openssl base64 -A | sed 's/^/sha256-/'
-# SHA-384
-openssl dgst -sha384 -binary <file> | openssl base64 -A | sed 's/^/sha384-/'
-# SHA-512
-openssl dgst -sha512 -binary <file> | openssl base64 -A | sed 's/^/sha512-/'
+### 5. `chat_no_stream(prompt: string)` -> `Promise<string>`
+A **stateful** chatbot endpoint that blocks until the generation completes and returns the full response at once.
+```javascript
+const reply = await llm.chat_no_stream("What is the capital of France?");
 ```
 
-> The `openssl` commands require a Unix-like shell (macOS/Linux). On Windows, run `openssl` via [Git Bash](https://gitforwindows.org/) or [WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/).
-
-If a hash does not match, an `IntegrityError` is thrown (or a warning is logged when `onFailure: "warn"`).
-All fields in `integrity` are optional — only specified artifacts will be verified.
-When the `integrity` field is omitted entirely, WebLLM behaves exactly as before (no verification).
-
-See the [integrity-verification example](examples/integrity-verification/) for a complete working demo.
-
-## Custom Models
-
-WebLLM works as a companion project of [MLC LLM](https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm) and it supports custom models in MLC format.
-It reuses the model artifact and builds the flow of MLC LLM. To compile and use your own models with WebLLM, please check out
-[MLC LLM document](https://llm.mlc.ai/docs/deploy/webllm.html)
-on how to compile and deploy new model weights and libraries to WebLLM.
-
-Here, we go over the high-level idea. There are two elements of the WebLLM package that enable new models and weight variants.
-
-- `model`: Contains a URL to model artifacts, such as weights and meta-data.
-- `model_lib`: A URL to the web assembly library (i.e. wasm file) that contains the executables to accelerate the model computations.
-
-Both are customizable in the WebLLM.
-
-```typescript
-import { CreateMLCEngine } from "@mlc-ai/web-llm";
-
-async main() {
-  const appConfig = {
-    "model_list": [
-      {
-        "model": "/url/to/my/llama",
-        "model_id": "MyLlama-3b-v1-q4f32_0",
-        "model_lib": "/url/to/myllama3b.wasm",
-      }
-    ],
-  };
-  // override default
-  const chatOpts = {
-    "repetition_penalty": 1.01
-  };
-
-  // load a prebuilt model
-  // with a chat option override and app config
-  // under the hood, it will load the model from myLlamaUrl
-  // and cache it in the browser cache
-  // The chat will also load the model library from "/url/to/myllama3b.wasm",
-  // assuming that it is compatible to the model in myLlamaUrl.
-  const engine = await CreateMLCEngine(
-    "MyLlama-3b-v1-q4f32_0",
-    { appConfig }, // engineConfig
-    chatOpts,
-  );
+### 6. `generate_stream(prompt: string)` -> `AsyncGenerator<string>`
+A **stateless**, memory-free generation endpoint designed for single, independent completion tasks.
+```javascript
+const generator = llm.generate_stream("Write a haiku about the ocean.");
+for await (const chunk of generator) {
+   console.log(chunk);
 }
 ```
 
-In many cases, we only want to supply the model weight variant, but
-not necessarily a new model (e.g. `NeuralHermes-Mistral` can reuse `Mistral`'s
-model library). For examples of how a model library can be shared by different model variants,
-see `webllm.prebuiltAppConfig`.
-
-## Build WebLLM Package From Source
-
-NOTE: you don't need to build from source unless you would like to modify the WebLLM package.
-To use the npm, simply follow [Get Started](#get-started) or any of the [examples](examples) instead.
-
-To build from source, simply run:
-
-```bash
-npm install
-npm run build
-```
-
-Then, to test the effects of your code change in an example, inside `examples/get-started/package.json`, change from `"@mlc-ai/web-llm": "^0.2.82"` to `"@mlc-ai/web-llm": ../..`.
-
-Then run:
-
-```bash
-cd examples/get-started
-npm install
-npm start
+### 7. `generate_no_stream(prompt: string)` -> `Promise<string>`
+A **stateless** completion endpoint returning an undisturbed full response.
+```javascript
+const text = await llm.generate_no_stream("Say exactly the word 'Hello'.");
 ```
 
-Note that sometimes you would need to switch between `file:../..` and `../..` to trigger npm to recognize new changes. In the worst case, you can run:
-
-```bash
-cd examples/get-started
-rm -rf node_modules dist package-lock.json .parcel-cache
-npm install
-npm start
+### 8. `reset_chat()` -> `Promise<void>`
+Instantly wipes the active conversational memory stored from the `chat_` endpoints.
+```javascript
+await llm.reset_chat();
 ```
 
-### In case you need to build TVMjs from source
-
-WebLLM's runtime largely depends on TVMjs: https://github.com/apache/tvm/tree/main/web
-
-While it is also available as an npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mlc-ai/web-runtime, you can build it from source if needed by following the steps below.
-
-1. Install [emscripten](https://emscripten.org). It is an LLVM-based compiler that compiles C/C++ source code to WebAssembly.
-   - Follow the [installation instruction](https://emscripten.org/docs/getting_started/downloads.html#installation-instructions-using-the-emsdk-recommended) to install the latest emsdk.
-   - Source `emsdk_env.sh` by `source path/to/emsdk_env.sh`, so that `emcc` is reachable from PATH and the command `emcc` works.
-
-   We can verify the successful installation by trying out `emcc` terminal.
-
-   Note: We recently found that using the latest `emcc` version may run into issues during runtime. Use `./emsdk install 3.1.56` instead of `./emsdk install latest` for now as a workaround. The error may look like
-
-   ```
-   Init error, LinkError: WebAssembly.instantiate(): Import #6 module="wasi_snapshot_preview1"
-   function="proc_exit": function import requires a callable
-   ```
-
-2. In `./package.json`, change from `"@mlc-ai/web-runtime": "0.18.0-dev2",` to `"@mlc-ai/web-runtime": "file:./tvm_home/web",`.
-
-3. Setup necessary environment
-
-   Prepare all the necessary dependencies for web build:
-
-   ```shell
-   ./scripts/prep_deps.sh
-   ```
-
-   In this step, if `$TVM_SOURCE_DIR` is not defined in the environment, we will execute the following line to build `tvmjs` dependency:
-
-   ```shell
-   git clone https://github.com/mlc-ai/relax 3rdparty/tvm-unity --recursive
-   ```
-
-   This clones the current HEAD of `mlc-ai/relax`. However, it may not always be the correct branch or commit to clone. To build a specific npm version from source, refer to the version bump PR, which states which branch (i.e. `mlc-ai/relax` or `apache/tvm`) and which commit the current WebLLM version depends on. For instance, version 0.2.52, according to its version bump PR https://github.com/mlc-ai/web-llm/pull/521, is built by checking out the following commit https://github.com/apache/tvm/commit/e6476847753c80e054719ac47bc2091c888418b6 in `apache/tvm`, rather than the HEAD of `mlc-ai/relax`.
-
-   Besides, `--recursive` is necessary and important. Otherwise, you may encounter errors like `fatal error: 'dlpack/dlpack.h' file not found`.
-
-4. Build WebLLM Package
-
-   ```shell
-   npm run build
-   ```
-
-5. Validate some of the sub-packages
-
-   You can then go to the subfolders in [examples](examples) to validate some of the sub-packages.
-   We use Parcelv2 for bundling. Although Parcel is not very good at tracking parent directory
-   changes sometimes. When you make a change in the WebLLM package, try to edit the `package.json`
-   of the subfolder and save it, which will trigger Parcel to rebuild.
