// or use CommonJS style import syntaxconstort=require('onnxruntime-web');

If you want to use ONNX Runtime Web with WebGPU support (experimental feature), you need to import as below:

// use ES6 style import syntax (recommended)import*asortfrom'onnxruntime-web/webgpu';

// or use CommonJS style import syntaxconstort=require('onnxruntime-web/webgpu');

If you want to use ONNX Runtime Web with WebNN support (experimental feature), you need to import as below:

// use ES6 style import syntax (recommended)import*asortfrom'onnxruntime-web/experimental';

// or use CommonJS style import syntaxconstort=require('onnxruntime-web/experimental');
