What does alphaxiv do?
AlphaXiv delivers instant, machine-readable summaries of individual arXiv papers optimized for language models. It lets you understand paper content without downloading the full PDF, and can cascade to full markdown and LaTeX source inspection when you need deeper details. It's built for explaining a specific paper rather than broad literature discovery.
How do I get a quick paper summary with alphaxiv?
AlphaXiv generates LLM-optimized summaries on demand. Provide an arXiv paper ID (like 2401.12345) or a full arXiv URL, and alphaxiv returns a concise, machine-readable overview. This covers the primary intent of quickly assessing paper relevance before committing to deep reading.
Can alphaxiv explain this paper 2401.12345?
Yes. AlphaXiv accepts arXiv paper IDs and URLs to generate instant summaries. Simply provide the ID or link, and alphaxiv returns an LLM-optimized explanation of the paper's content, letting you understand the work without downloading the full PDF.
Does alphaxiv provide LaTeX source and equations?
AlphaXiv can cascade to full markdown and LaTeX source inspection for deeper analysis. When the quick summary isn't enough, you can access paper LaTeX source for equations and proofs, enabling detailed technical review beyond the initial overview.
What's the license for alphaxiv?
AlphaXiv is released under the MIT license, allowing broad use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions.
Is alphaxiv good for literature discovery?
No. AlphaXiv is built for explaining a specific paper you've already identified—not for broad literature discovery. It excels at delivering instant summaries of individual arXiv papers when you have a particular paper ID or URL in mind.
