Fftext is a CLI tool that runs a small quantized LLM entirely on CPU to summarize, explain, fact-check, or translate text from files, URLs, or inline input, all offline after the first run. Its fact-checking pipeline with claim extraction, web search, and evidence synthesis is a clever combination of local AI and live web data, making sophisticated NLP accessible without GPU or cloud dependencies.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, writers, researchers
