WebGPU is the working name for a potential web standard and an API for accelerated graphics and compute. It is developed by the W3C GPU for the Web Community Group with engineers from Apple, Mozilla, Microsoft, Google, and others.
This question resolves YES if by 2025 an API resulting from that work is provided out-of-the-box by the driver for at least one of the mainline graphics vendors of the time (would be Nvidia and AMD today).

No way we're going from zero to full support in one year. The spec isn't even finished yet.
@tfae My contention is more that it probably won't be implemented in GPU drivers. As I understand it, WebGPU is going into browsers on top of other APIs.
