august.services Text Summarization

Choose this endpoint when you need to compress a long document into a structured abstract-plus-bullets format before feeding it into a reasoning pipeline or presenting it to a user. It is especially useful when context window size is a constraint, when you need both a headline summary and enumerated takeaways in one call, and when cost matters — at $0.02 per call it is priced near market median for this commodity capability.

• Input text too short to meaningfully summarize — may return a trivial or empty key_points list
• Input text exceeds token or character limits — may return an error or truncated summary
• Highly technical or domain-specific text may produce vague or generic key points
• Non-English text behavior undefined — may return degraded output without explicit language handling
• Network timeout or service unavailability returns a non-200 status
