I love these simulations, they're beautiful. Anyone else find that WebGPU is always glitchy for them? I must have tried the tech on countless different laptops now. But there's always problems with it like: latency, tearing, flicking, crashes. Is the tech just very unstable?

IIRC it was delayed multiple times. I think the first intent to ship from chrome was before 100 but they kept pushing it off. Firefox still does not support it. There are projects like wgpu[0] that provide a higher level API for WebGPU and I have used some projects using it with no issues. WFIW I didn't see any issue with OP's demo either.

Yes it is still a bit new. WebGPU is not finished and is still being worked on: https://webgpu.io/ And it is supported by very few browser also: https://caniuse.com/webgpu
Smooth as a baby's bottom for me.
