I've been using miniflux in docker with a miniflux-ai container I found on GitHub, I seem to recall I had issues out of the box and had to tweak it but that was quite a while ago, can't remember the details. I have it configured to generate summaries of a list of feeds in miniflux when it sees new items. Works pretty well, needs to be restarted occasionally but has been just fine for the amount of time it took to setup.

Basically I want a self-hosted version of Google News. If 10 feeds have near-identical coverage of the same story, I want just 1 item, with an option to see the other 9.

I went looking for something like this a couple years ago and found ~nothing. Checked again today and now there are Entirely Too Many Things.

Hoping to find something a bit more established than somebody's abandoned weekend project. There seems to be an awful lot of that out there right now.

Looking for XML or similar output. Do not need or necessarily want any sort of front end.

Why though? The joy is reading not reading bad versions of the same content?

Just found this thread from March looking for the exact same thing, with no helpful suggestions unfortunately. I think folks either don't understand what's being asked or don't understand how Google News works.

@infeeeee@lemmy.zip It's a matter of duplication.

Say you have 10 feeds from major news publishers in your reader, BBC, NY Times, Le Monde, etc. because you value wide coverage. When the King of England dies you will have 10 nearly identical articles in your feed with the facts of his death from those outlets, plus at least another 10 nearly identical ones reminiscing about his life and impact, and dozens more related ones from various contributors. Your feed will be clogged for days with repeated info about one old dead guy. This is an annoying reality of RSS.

On Google News there will be one box dedicated to His Royal Corpse showing maybe a few stories, semi-randomly selected for relevance by an algorithm. If you want the fire hose coverage it's a click away, but on the front page it's contained and doesn't dominate everything else. I want that for RSS.

I've been really happy with Fresh-RSS. Someone else on here put me onto about 6 months ago and it's changed how I consume news.

I find the most time consuming part was/is curating my feed but with tools like RSS-Bridge I can really get fine grain control on what makes it through.

On your LLM summarizer question, yes they have several plug-ins. I've recently started piping the whole feed into Gemini and telling it to pick the top 5 and summarize. But I do that in bash and emacs :

I'm with OP on this one.
I enjoy reading quality content, not just the act of reading.
I think the idea is that by using an LLM to help sort through the drivel you have more time to do the reading of the quality content.

And really, I'm always suspicious of the why when an algorithm suggests me an article... Having something less tied directly to a companies bottom line might help me trust the content more.
