Pulpie: Open-Source Model Cleans Web Content at 20x Lower Cost
Pulpie, a family of Pareto optimal encoder models, strips boilerplate from raw HTML, matching state-of-the-art extraction quality while being 20x cheaper. Cleaning 1 billion webpages costs $7,900 with Pulpie versus $159,000 with Dripper. The models are open source on Hugging Face and aim to improve data quality for LLM context.

The cost reduction is impressive, but the real test will be adoption and performance across diverse web content beyond the benchmarks shown.
