Mozilla releases 'Wasm agents' that allow AI agents to be run directly in the browser without the need to install extra apps, and uses WebAssembly to run Python-based agents in the browser at high speed
The use of 'AI agents' that can perform tasks such as generating code or making restaurant reservations according to user instructions is beginning to spread, but using AI agents on a PC requires consideration of dependencies on multiple tools and frameworks. Mozilla has released 'Wasm agents,' which improves this situation and allows AI agents to be run on the browser alone.

Wasm is short for WebAssembly , which allows code written in languages such as C, C++, Rust, and Python to run at near-native speed in a web browser. Mozilla noticed that many existing AI agents are written in Python, and developed Wasm agents that can run AI agents in a browser via the Python distribution 'Pyodide' that runs on WebAssembly and the OpenAI Agents Python SDK.
It is designed to leverage Pyodide to run Python code directly in the browser, so there is no need to install a development environment and you can take full advantage of the OpenAI Agents Python SDK.
Wasm agents are in the early stages of development at the time of writing and only support OpenAI's agent framework. Mozilla's Davide Einard said, 'Personally, I'm not sure yet whether Wasm agents are a great idea or just a fun hack, but I wanted to share it as soon as possible because it resonates deeply with many concepts I hold dear: ownership of tools, freedom to tinker with them, running locally, protecting data, and even good old-fashioned power browsing. I'd love to hear if you're enjoying it and if you've learned anything.'
