Show HN: Asxiv.org – Ask ArXiv papers questions through chat

43•anonfunction•1w ago

I built this yesterday to help understand papers I'm interested in. It's using the gemini 2.5 flash lite model, but you can run it yourself[1] and switch to 2.5 pro for better results.

Happy to answer any questions or take suggestions on how I can improve it!
