Hi HN!
BLAST is a high-performance serving engine for browser-augmented LLMs, designed to make deploying web-browsing AI easy, fast, and cost-manageable.

We're starting off with automatic parallelism, prefix caching, budgeting (memory and LLM cost), and an OpenAI-Compatible API but have a ton of ideas in the pipe!
