A few people uploaded the Bitcoin paper and I noticed a bug in one where the page just kind of ended halfway through. This was due to my stringent security protections against prompt injection and outside links but I was blocking some legit

Thank you. Great to hear!

Totally agree. At the same time, I find that my brain learns best when I ingest the same information in different ways. This app doesn't replace papers; it complements them. Unless you're my mom - she's not going to read arXi

No. At least that's not what I intended.

by jbdamask 7mo ago
I find the same thing - that sometimes less is more when it comes to prompts. Especially when the inputs are somewhat unpredictable.

Yea, I was surprised by the output myself. It's all auto-generated. I'm considering some ways to direct the LLM but we're in this funny period where models are getting better on subjective things like look-and-feel. And if I

Thanks for the question and links. I haven't done any token/cost optimization so far because a) the app works well-enough for me, personally; b) I need more data to understand the areas to optimize. Most likely, I'd start wit

I haven't but am open to ideas. What kind of experience would be useful to you?

by jbdamask 7mo ago
If by "auto-generated" you mean, does the LLM generate the output from the input, then yes.

I've upped today's (3/1) cap to 100 papers

by jbdamask 7mo ago
Doh! I didn’t think of that. Interesting idea.

Very nice of you to say.

Nice

Thanks to everyone who tried this today and those who provided feedback. I really appreciate your time. Here are some stats: 100 papers processed. Cost breakdown: LLM cost $64 AWS cost $0.0003 Claude's editorial comment about this brea

That decision-tree page is killer!

Sorry you hit this. 100 papers were processed today. Cost to me was $63.

by jbdamask 7mo ago
Very cool. Appreciate it.

Agree. Curious if you’ve played with landing.ai?

I hear you. For me personally, the pain point is being interested in more papers than I can consume so I’ve gotten into the habit of loading papers into LLMs as a way to quickly triage. This app is an extension of my own habit. I also have

Hmmm, didn’t realize I was deflecting - just stating facts. But if I came across that way then criticism noted. If I turned this into a paid app then more attention would be given to quality. There’s only so much an app that leverages LLMs

Sorry. Reached 100 uploads today. Check out the gallery

LLMs, even the best ones, are still hit or miss wrt quality. Constantly improving, though. I see more confusion from Opus 4.x about how to weight the different parts of a paper in terms of importance than I see hallucinations of flat out in

Sometimes the LLM output isn’t great. If you uploaded the paper you can click Recreate. Otherwise just upload the PDF and see if you get a better response

by jbdamask 7mo ago
Good to know. There are also limits to context window of file size. These errors are emerging as people use the app. I'll add them to the FAQ. The app doesn't do any chunking of PDFs

If you mean the bar chart, then yea, it made a representational chart. The caption says, "Conceptual illustration based on the paper's framework — higher quality environments lead to better outcomes across all domains."

The app may be getting throttled. If you're waiting on a job, check back in a bit.

I don't. Too new and I haven't fully committed to this idea yet.

Someone processed a paper on designing kindergartens. Mad props for trying such a cool paper. Really interesting how the LLM designed a soothing color scheme and even included a quiz at the end. https://nowigetit.us/pages&#x

I see a few people trying to process big papers. Not sure if you're seeing a meaningful error in the UI but the response from the LLM is, "A maximum of 100 PDF pages may be provided"

It's much simpler than that: * HTMLs stored on S3, behind CloudFront * Links and metadata in DDB * Lambdas to handle everything
