Key Points

  • The author is looking for an efficient model to summarize RSS news articles, emphasizing that they do not know how to evaluate summary quality but want a practical solution.
  • They prefer smaller models that can run with low VRAM or CPU-only setups while still being adequate for basic English summarization.
  • The author also indicates they want a model that is not overly complex, suggesting a focus on simplicity and feasibility rather than advanced capabilities.
  • The request is posted in the context of local LLM usage (LocalLLaMA), implying an intent to run the summarizer locally instead of relying on large cloud models.

I don’t know what nor how to test the quality of summaries of news articles. But I know I don’t need very large models. I’m looking preferably for something that uses low vram or cpu only but that is sufficient for this use case. I won’t need something complex either and only english.
