📄 Description

This PR adds a minimal stub documentation for an experimental WebGPU backend. It outlines goals, design sketch, and next steps for contributors to implement a real WebGPU‑accelerated inference provider.

@jmorganca, I think this could be a fun entry point for the community to explore GPU‑offload possibilities. If you like the direction, I’d be happy to help flesh out the actual provider implementation or sponsor a small hack‑session to get it rolling.

What’s included

  • docs/webgpu-stub.md – a concise design document and roadmap.
  • Clear steps for contributors to add the Go provider, health‑check, UI toggle, and tests.

Next steps

  • Implement the Go source (ackend/provider/webgpu.go).
  • Register the provider under the ID webgpu.
  • Add UI settings for enabling the endpoint.
  • Write unit tests.

Looking forward to your thoughts!
