| |
| ## Description |
| |
| Applies the Gaussian Error Linear Unit (GELU) activation elementwise: `Y = 0.5 * X * (1 + erf(X / sqrt(2)))`. The output has the same shape as the input. Float16 and float32 are supported; the schema's double and bfloat16 types are not. |
| |
| See the [ONNX Runtime `Gelu` contrib-operator spec](https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/blob/main/docs/ContribOperators.md#com.microsoft.Gelu) for the reference semantics. |

| ## Inputs |
| |
| | Name | Bind key | Logical dtype | Rank | Shape | Description | Presence | |
| | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | |
| | `X` | `X` | `T` | — | — | Values transformed elementwise by the exact GELU activation. | required | |
| |
| ## Outputs |
| |
| | Name | Bind key | Logical dtype | Rank | Shape | Description | Presence | |
| | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | |
| | `Y` | `Y` | `T` | same as `X` | same as `X` | Output tensor after applying GELU; same shape as the input. | required | |
| |
| ## Type constraints |
| |
| | Variable | Allowed dtypes | |
| | --- | --- | |
| | `T` | `float32`, `float16` | |

| ## Use with `@huggingface/kernels` |
| |
| The loader derives every required output's shape and logical dtype from the manifest contract and this call. |
| It then allocates the result tensors automatically. |
| |
| The `version: 1` option selects the published kernel contract; it is independent of any operator opset, contrib `since_version`, or model version. |
|
|
| Replace each `*Data` placeholder with a typed array containing the corresponding input data. |
|
|
| ```js |
| import { getKernel } from "@huggingface/kernels"; |
| |
| const kernel = await getKernel("webgpu-kernels/com.microsoft.Gelu", { version: 1 }); |
| const { Y } = await kernel({ X: { data: XData, shape: [] } }); |
| ``` |
