Fun little project, had Gemini 2.5 Pro summarize HN's top 30 each hour, both the stories and comment sections.
Pretty impressed with Gemini 2.5. It's probably the first model other than Claude 3.7 Sonnet where I actually find the output readable. I normally use 3.7 Sonnet for coding, but used Gemini for the codegen on this one as well. Was pretty impressed! Using Cursor, it seemed to instruction-follow better than Claude generally does, and remain lucid during very long agent sessions.
Thanks for your feedback!
- Rails 8
- Embedded React frontend w/ Tailwind
- Sidekiq for cron jobs
- Perplexity API for story info extraction via URL
- Gemini 2.5 Pro for classifying story extraction results as valid/invalid
- Gemini 2.5 Pro for summarizing stories and HN comment threads (tried Claude but preferred the personality of Gemini surprisingly)
- Cursor with Gemini 2.5 Pro + Claude 3.7 Sonnet for codegen
For example, the "story info extraction" and its "results evaluation" deserve some more in depth explanation.
How do you have the LLM summarize the article and the HN submission page: do you put the whole text in the input (as in: "Summarize the following text: <page text here>")?
