OpenAI unveils model that can summarize books of any length

The Transform Technology Summits start October 13th with Low-Code/No Code: Enabling Enterprise Agility. OpenAI has developed an AI model that can summarize books of arbitrary length. A fine-tuned version of the research lab's GPT-3, the model works by first summarizing small sections of a book and then summarizing those summaries into higher-level summaries, following a paradigm OpenAI calls "recursive task decomposition." Summarizing book-length documents could be valuable in the enterprise, particularly for documentation-heavy industries like software development. A survey by SearchYourCloud found that workers take up to eight searches to find the right document, and McKinsey reports that employees spend 1.8 hours every day -- 9.3 hours per week, on average -- searching and gathering job-related information.
