I've found that for the most part the articles that I want summarized are those which only fit the largest context models such as Claude. Because otherwise I can skim-read the article possibly in reader mode for legibility.

Is llama 2 a good fit considering its small context window?

I built a chrome version of this for summarizing HN comments: https://github.com/built-by-as/FastDigest

Help me understand why people are using these.

I presume you want information of some value to you otherwise you wouldn't bother reading an article. Then you feed it to a probabilistic algorithm and so you can not have any idea what the output has to do with the input. Like https://i.imgur.com/n6hFwVv.png you can somewhat decipher what this slop wants to be but what if the summary leaves out or invents or inverts some crucial piece of info?

I use PageAssist with Ollama for two months, but I never called "Summarise" option in menu. :-/
