How to Build AI Applications In Minutes With Transformers.js

April 14, 2025

Transformers.js is a JavaScript library that provides the ability to run AI models in the browser. At the time of this writing, over 1,300 models are available for use and this number continues to grow each day.

With Transformers.js, it is also possible to convert custom models developed with Python, JAX, or TensorFlow so that they may run in the browser.

Supported tasks currently include:

  • Natural Language Processing (ex. text classification and translation)
  • Computer Vision (ex. image classification and object detection)
  • Audio (ex. automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech)
  • Multimodal (embeddings and zero-shot classification)
