Explain:
Plasmate is an open-source browser engine that compiles HTML into a Semantic Object Model (SOM) aimed at making web content more token-efficient for AI agents, with a Python package interface (pip install plasmate).
How It Differs
Unlike traditional web scraping tools that return raw HTML or rely on pixel-based browser automation, Plasmate focuses on returning structured semantic content (SOM) to reduce token usage for LLM-based agents.
