Ask HN: Cheapest way to summarise articles using AI?

I think GPT-4 (or 3.5 if you are trying to save a few dollars) would be best. OpenAI's models are strong for summarizing text, you would just need to scrape it yourself and pass it to the API.

The API is easy to use and there are a lot of supported libraries already for whatever language you prefer: https://platform.openai.com/docs/libraries/node-js-library.

If you are lucky enough to get off the plugin waitlist, you can even use the web browsing plugin for GPT-4 and that should let you just pass in a link.

Not perfect, but I built this to generate summaries for my HN AI related newsletter https://github.com/vlameiras/hn-ai-news. I just fetch the content locally with requests and then feed it to GPT-4 API

Why don't you ask an AI that question?
