Hey r/opensource 🔮
I wanted to share our recently open-sourced steel-browser repo: github.com/steel-dev/steel-browser
The steel-browser repo is the main building block powering us over at Steel.dev.
Some background: Steel is an open-source browser API for AI agents and apps. We make it easy for AI developers to build browser automation into their products without getting flagged as a bot or worrying about browser infra. Each session gets dedicated resources (2GB VRAM/CPU) with built-in stealth, proxies, and CAPTCHA solving out of the box.
We initially built it to solve our own challenges of getting AI agents to interact with the web on-demand; having to manage browser pools, memory leaks, proxies, solving CAPTCHAs, etc. But it’s become handy for any web automation work, whether you’re using AI or not.
The steel-browser repo comes equipped with all the capabilities of the hosted service. Including compatibility with our Node/Python SDKs, a session viewer, and one-click deploy options. You can run it locally or self-host. We’re actively working on the orchestration layer which we’ll also open source soon.
Really stoked to share this with the Open Source community! Would love to hear what you think of the implementation and what you’d build with it/like to see added.
