Where answers come from

Some pages can ask a language model questions. Set this up once; your choice is remembered in this browser for the whole site.

Model source
Use another source instead

Smallest-to-largest weight downloads. Qwen3.5 0.8B is our starting choice for page Q&A. GPU estimates are not total RAM: leave room for the browser, context and temporary buffers. Hardware changes speed and capacity; answers still need checking.

Session-only loading avoids saving model weights, uses extra RAM and downloads again after unloading. Turn it off to save downloads. Delete-data-on-exit or private browsing may impose a much smaller storage limit than the displayed estimate.

A free account does not make every model free. Choose a model with a listed :free variant; merely adding that suffix does not create one. Check free-model availability and pricing.

Building the view…

  
Larger dots = more distinct pages · Soft springs preserve semantic neighborhoods; repulsion makes room · Colour = provisional topic

  

  
327 listed pages · MiniLM compares passages around each concept, with each page weighted equally. The flat map is approximate; display physics does not change similarity scores. Concepts and topic colours are generated suggestions, not author-approved tags. Original publication dates determine recency.
