The Arxivist

He who is in charge of Arxiv's.

Story Background

While checking the github from the dreadnode folks (Hey Daniel V!) i came along with their paperstack repository, this project keeps a list of latest papers published on arxiv (scholarly articles) by some securiy search terms then it sends each of them to an LLM to have an abstract and then compiles everything into a notion page.

Dreadnode’s Paperstack in Action

My Idea

The project resonated with me but with some changes:

• First i wanted to use Obsidian to send the tables with the intention to use the Obsidian Graph.
• The option to have use a local LLM -> Llama.

Conception:

As a visual person, the first thing was to create a Leonardo hero image and after playing with lot’s of propmting i arrived at this one:

Repository

Github -> Arxivist

Use it

python arxivist.py --output-obsidian <path>

This will create a bunch of papers, copy them to obsidian and enjoy!
