Show HN: Pulpie – Models for Cleaning the Web
The briefing
Hey HN, I'm Shreyash, founder of Feyn. We built Pulpie, a family of Pareto optimal models for cleaning the web.
What changes
Pulpie strips boilerplate (ads, footers, sidebars) from raw HTML and returns just the main content as HTML or Markdown. We match SOTA extraction quality while being 20x cheaper.
The setting
Cleaning 1 billion webpages costs $7,900 with Pulpie versus $159,000 with Dripper, the current leading extractor

Signal Ledger on show
Today's leading extractors are decoders that generate output one token at a time. Cheaper GPUs have relatively more compute than memory bandwidth.
