Pathfinder's on-device model now summarizes without a network call

What changed

• A distilled version of Pathfinder's summarizer now runs fully on-device on recent phones and laptops, with no data leaving the device.
• Summaries generate in under two seconds for documents up to roughly 20 pages, without a network connection.
• The on-device model clearly marks summaries as 'quick offline summary' since it trades some depth for speed compared to the full server model.

Who it helps

The practical problem it solves

Sending every document to a server for summarization is a non-starter for sensitive material, and it fails outright without a connection. An on-device option gives people a genuine offline, private fallback for the common case of 'just tell me the gist.'

Ways to try it

• Summarize a contract on a flight with no wifi before reading it in full later.
• Get a quick gist of a sensitive internal document without it touching a server.
• Triage a long thread in seconds to decide if it needs a careful read.
