  "summary": "Running video upscaling completely client-side in the browser sounds like a fun weekend project until you hit the reality of VRAM limits and Out-Of-Memory (OOM) tab crashes. While building the video upscaler for my project tapirconvert, I realized that running a Heavy Neural Network (like Real-ESRGAN or ESPCN) to upscale a 1080p video to 4K natively in the browser is practically impossible for…",
