Kuri: Zig-Based Agent Browser Claims 16% Fewer Tokens Than Agent-Browser on Google Flights
GitHub / Hacker News (50pts)·medium signal
Kuri launched as a Zig-native browser automation tool optimized for AI agent loops — a 464KB binary with ~3ms cold start. On a Google Flights benchmark, a full agent loop costs 4,110 tokens vs 4,880 for agent-browser (16% less per cycle, compounding across multi-step tasks). Features include CDP snapshots, HAR recording, and a standalone fetcher. Intentionally narrower than Playwright/Puppeteer — built for token economy in agent integration, not general browser testing. 50 points on HN.
