alphaXiv

The Official arXiv Labs Platform for Paper Discussion

alphaXiv launched on February 9, 2025 with 3 votes. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

Discuss arXiv papers in context, with AI assistance. Ask questions, get answers from Gemini/Claude, discover trending papers, and connect with researchers.

Discuss, discover, and read arXiv papers. Explore trending papers, see recent activity and discussions, and follow authors of arXiv papers on alphaXiv.

alphaXiv connects papers, researchers, and organizations, grounding its answers in the underlying work. A recurrent decoder carries computation across every prompt and response token, while exact full-history replay keeps reinforcement-learning policy states aligned with current parameters.

    Asxiv.org – Ask ArXiv papers questions through chat2025 · asxiv.org · ▲161

    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! 1. https://github.com/montanaflynn/asxiv

    Hello HN, Talk2Arxiv is a small open-source RAG application I've been building for a few weeks. To use it just prepend any arxiv.org link with 'talk2' to load the paper into a responsive RAG chat application (e.g. www.arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762 -> www.talk2arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762). All implementation details are in the GitHub. Currently, because I've opted to extract text from the PDF of the paper rather than reading the LaTeX source code (since I wanted to build a more generic PDF RAG in the process), it struggles with symbolic text / mathematics, and sometimes fails…

    Hey HN! I built arXiv News (https://arxiv-news.com) – a discussion space for research papers. The problem: I browse arXiv constantly for new papers, but there's nowhere good to discuss them. Twitter is chaotic, Reddit is fragmented, and arXiv itself has no comments. So I cloned HN's design (using https://github.com/clintonwoo/hackernews-react-graphql) and applied it to arXiv. Upvote papers, comment, sort by hot/new/discussed, filter by category, post ideas/papers you've found. A daily scraper pulls all new papers automatically. I'd love to hear…

    I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

  • i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
