mBERT Star Rating — sentiment running in your browser

mBERT Star Rating is a 167M-parameter ONNX model that classifies a piece of text by polarity or by the class it was fine-tuned on, with a confidence score. On this page it runs entirely inside your browser: the 172 MB download comes straight from the Hugging Face repository “Xenova/bert-base-multilingual-uncased-sentiment” into your browser cache, and every inference after that executes on your own GPU through WebGPU. That is a one-off download of well under a minute on a normal connection, and small enough that integrated graphics handle it without complaint. Declared languages: en, de, fr, es, it, nl.

Predicts a 1-5 star rating in six languages — a better fit for reviews than a binary label. In practice people reach for a model like this for triaging reviews, support tickets and survey free-text without shipping customer words to a third party.

Available precisions: q8 (8-bit) and fp32 (full precision). q8 comes first because it roughly halves the download at a quality cost you will struggle to measure on this class of model; fp32 is there when you want the reference numbers. Hugging Face records about 9k downloads a month. It is a specialist choice rather than a default, which is exactly why it is worth trying when the popular model gets your particular input wrong.

Because there is no inference server behind this page, there is nothing to rate-limit and nothing to bill: the only cost of running mBERT Star Rating here is the one-off 172 MB download, and once that is cached the page keeps working with the network switched off.

Frequently asked questions

How large is the mBERT Star Rating download?

About 172 MB for the q8 build, including the tokenizer and config files the runtime also has to fetch — this is the whole payload, not just the weights file. It is downloaded once and then served from the browser Cache Storage API.

Can mBERT Star Rating run without a GPU?

Yes, through the WebAssembly fallback, which is slower but works anywhere. WebGPU (Chrome or Edge 113+, Safari 26+) is what makes it feel interactive. On WASM, prefer the smaller quantized build.

Do I need a Hugging Face token or an API key?

No. Xenova/bert-base-multilingual-uncased-sentiment is a public repository, so your browser fetches the ONNX files directly over HTTPS. There is no account, no key and no server in between.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. The model weights are downloaded from Hugging Face to your browser once, and every inference after that runs on your own GPU through WebGPU. Your text, images and audio are never sent anywhere — hjLabs.in has no inference server and no way to see your input.
