fftext is a CPU-only CLI tool for summarizing, explaining, fact-checking, and translating text, URLs, or files using a tiny local LLM (Qwen3.5 0.8B) via llama.cpp. Its interesting combination of offline privacy, no-GPU requirement, and a dedicated fact-check pipeline with web search and citations sets it apart.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, researchers, privacy-conscious users
