Top Free Summarization tools, APIs, and Open Source models

What is Summarization API?

Text summarization is an NLP process that auto-generates a brief summary of lengthy documents or text. The primary objective is to condense vast amounts of data into a more manageable format while retaining the crucial and relevant details.
