What are the requirements for running this? Chrome throws a whole bunch of "out of memory" errors into the console when I try to execute these. I'm guessing 4GiB of VRAM is not enough?

Ahh, yeah I forgot to mention it. The model is 2.5gb so I assume you'd need at least free 3gb with all the surroudning stuff, with the rest of your system using more ram I'd guess 4gb is way too low - maybe even 8gb would be in some occasions.

I personally tested it on 32gb Apple M2, and it's able to run much heavier stuff.

My laptop's GPU has 4GiB of VRAM but it still failed to allocate enough memory. Seems like I'll have to pass on demos like these until someone figures out a way to use less (V)RAM to accomplish these kinds of things.
