BAML turns LLM prompts into type-safe functions

BAML is a direct shot at the "AI SDK" mess, moving prompt logic out of application code and into compiled, type-safe assets.

• –Schema-Aligned Parsing (SAP) outperforms standard JSON mode by handling malformed LLM responses without redundant retries
• –VS Code extension provides a world-class developer experience with real-time prompt previews and live testing
• –Native code generation eliminates the need for runtime schema validation libraries like Pydantic for simple extractions
• –Model-agnostic design allows switching between OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models without changing business logic
• –The "12 hard pivots" story from YC W23 founders adds significant community weight and credibility to the product's focus
