I tried this with a random Magic the Gathering card: https://labs.kagi.com/ai/sum?url=https://scryfall.com/card/m... > Jubilant Mascot is a 1/1 creature with an ability that allows you to pay {3}{W} at the beginning of combat on your turn to support two other target creatures. This means that you can put a +1/+1 counter on each of up to two other target creatures. Support can target a creature another player controls…

> Pretty neat how it picked out an interesting fact about the cards legality

Based on my experiments plus some of the comments here it looks as if the intro "It is interesting to note" happens quite often.

My guess is that it finds a main thread, keeps it in the summarization, and then adds the nearest outlier as "interesting fact".

Doesn't seem to work https://labs.kagi.com/ai/sum?url=https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I got that error when trying to summarize a dumb two-paragraph article I once wrote. If I had to guess I'd say that's what you get when the backend cannot identify what the main text is (which is a surprisingly hard problem).

Summarized a little-known record label, and even seems to have inferred some of the label's ethics. There are a couple goofs from parsing the bandcamp page (the label offers "download help" and some goofs where album titles are listed as artists, but generally quite impressive:

Fire Is Free is a transient private press bedroom label for psychedelic space-noise drones and other music. It features a variety of artists, such as Hlmn, Agreeable Goldmines, Versioning, A Beamed Gelling Rose, and more. The label offers streaming and download help, and all of its music is copyright-free. It is an interesting example of a DIY label that is dedicated to creating and sharing music without any restrictions. The label's catalogue includes a variety of genres, from ambient and dub to acid and noise, making it a great resource for fans of experimental music.

I am looking for an AI that can say what a company does, even put it in a category. Sadly this solution incorporates the marketing jargon when I tested it: "Leading," etc.

This is quite a bit better than all of the other attempts at building AI summarizers I've seen. One thing that's really nice about it is that it seems to pick out surprising or unique information, rather than just trying to provide the most general abstraction or summary of the article. My team has a journal club where we go through ML papers, and I feel like this will be a good tool to familiarize myself with academ…

it's very good at that..how does it manage to do that?

Things that are unsurprising probably are frequently mentioned in the training data. Just based on that you would expect that language models have an easy time judging how novel information is, you just have to get it to use that information.

I would expect GPT3 to be able to do that, but I don't think this is GPT

The Summarizer uses extra knowledge beyond what's given by the URL you submit. I tried giving it a link to a synopsis of "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" from IMDB. I then copied and pasted the synopsis into a pastebin online content-hosting site, and gave the Summarizer the URL of the pastebin. Both results are impressive but quite different: When fed https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103064/plotsummary/?ref_=tt_st... : Ter…

Did you try running both examples multiple times? In my experience, these LLMs are not deterministic so even the same prompt can give some pretty different responses.

Bluntly, it doesn't work. I handed it this: https://labs.kagi.com/ai/sum?url=https://www.gutenberg.org/c...

It correctly identified it as War and Peace, then gave a standard spiel and War and Peace, along with a bunch of bullet points none of which were "Key Moments". But... it didn't actually read it. If it had, it might have noticed that I only linked to Book 1.

But I could have figured out it was War and Peace just by reading the title, and half of the rest from the wikipedia page.

Tried it with code: https://bellard.org/quickjs/pi_bigdecimal.js This code uses the QuickJS bigdecimal type to calculate the value of pi to a given precision. It does this by using the Chudnovsky algorithm, which is a series of calculations that can be used to approximate pi. The code is written in Javascript and uses BigInt and BigDecimal to perform the calculations. It is interesting to note that the code also take…

no way! this can also summarize / explain code!? wow!

It can't. It can _look up_ code.
