Official brand guidelines and press kit coming soon. In the meantime, the Plasmate mark and wordmark are used throughout the official repos — see plasmate-labs/skill-openclaw for an approved usage example. Community-contributed social assets (OG cards, square tiles) available on request via Discord.

Articles & Talks

  • Real-World Token Savings: 51-URL Benchmark Analysis - First full run of the benchmark suite across 51 real-world URLs. Highlights: Google Cloud 117.9x, NYT 110.3x, Linear 81.5x, Stripe docs 54.3x. 6.7M tokens saved in a single pass. Includes category breakdowns, failure analysis, and honest accounting of where SOM loses to raw HTML.
  • Failure Mode Analysis: Why Plasmate Gets 403 on Some Sites - Investigation into TLS fingerprinting as the root cause of 403s that persist despite browser-realistic HTTP headers. Covers the difference between header-based blocking (fixable with --user-agent) and TLS fingerprint detection (requires deeper changes).
