Re: Universal Summarizer
#2Quite useful IMHO to summarize some Hacker News posts, here's an example [0].
Funny story: I tried to build something like this years ago, called MNMN, guessing that AI would have eventually be able to do the summarizes well enough. [1]
The name was a play on the song "Manamanà".

Re: Universal Summarizer
#3It's very nice. Apparantly it doesn't follow pages of an HN thread. It summarized this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34579175 to mostly about staying warm. See https://labs.kagi.com/ai/sum?url=https://news.ycombinator.co...
This is how it summarized Yishan's thread on content moderation https://labs.kagi.com/ai/sum?url=https://twitter.com/yishan/... It obviously got confused when he side stepped into his CO2 mantra middle of the thread.
From these two links, it feels like this engine mostly focuses on the beginnings of the URL, things that come later on a page are not given the same priority when summarizing.

#4Oh, reminds me I had an email address @kagi.com, a long, long time ago :-)
Re: Universal Summarizer
#5Impressed with their long document summarization, any ideas how they do this? Seems beyond normal GPT limitations; either they have a more powerful model (doubt it) or hacked around the limitations?
e.g. good summary for a very long text https://labs.kagi.com/ai/sum?url=http://localroger.com/prime...
Re: Universal Summarizer
#6This 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 academic papers before going into the details.

I was wondering whether this is still the same company. I remember getting cheques from Kagi and German bank employees eying them suspiciously.

The song being https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8N_tupPBtWQ ?
It surely reminded me of that one!

I know, for quite a while I got quite a bit of income from them, good old day of Mac Sharewares :-)

Thanks for noticing! (dev here)
We have an in-house model we've been developing since 2019, just for summarization of long documents in real time. We'll try to find some time to blog about the high level design.
