Cursed Browser: Rendering Engine using Visual-LLMs
Cursed Browser asks an LLM to look at the page's HTML and draw what it thinks it looks like. Every page load is a surprise. Every render is a work of art. It's better than correct, it's AI Native.
Examples: Cursed vs Safari
Compared to other "AI Native" browsers
| Feature | Arc | Dia | Comet | Atlas | Cursed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HTML parsed by an LLM token-by-token | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| CSS interpreted via next-token prediction | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Pixels hallucinated by a VLM | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
Roadmap
V1: An LLM looks at HTML and draws what it thinks a browser would show. Technically a browser. Legally, probably also a browser. Morally, questionable.
V1.1 (current, open-source): Break unnecessary dependency on the web; the model memorized it during pretraining. The live HTTP fetch is a formality, a polite nod to legacy infrastructure. Acid test 100/100.
V2: (oversubscribed $200m pre-seed, enterprise) The LLM writes a brand new browser engine from scratch every time you load a page. No bloat -- the engine only supports exactly the features that page needs. Extremely efficient.
