OP here with a shameless plug: for anyone interested, I'm working on a site called Emergent Mind that surfaces trending AI/ML papers. This TinyLlama paper/repo is trending #1 right now and likely will be for a while due to how much attention it's getting across social media: https://www.emergentmind.com/papers/2401.02385. Emergent Mind also looks for and links to relevant discussions/resources on Reddit, X, HackerNews, GitHub, and YouTube for every new arXiv AI/ML paper. Feedback welcome!

I visit your site every day. Thank you for creating it and evolving it past simple summaries to show paper details!

I recall you were looking to sell it at some point. Was wondering what that process looked like, and why you ended up holding on to the site.

Hey, thanks for the kind words.

To answer your question: an earlier version of the site focused on surfacing AI news, but that space is super competitive and I don't think Emergent Mind did a better job than the other resources out there. I tried selling it instead of just shutting it down, but ultimately decided to keep it. I recently decided to pivot to covering arXiv papers, which is a much better fit than AI news. I think there's an opportunity with it to not only help surface trending papers, but help educate people about them too using AI (the GPT-4 summaries are just a start). A lot of the future work will be focused in that direction, but I'd also love any feedback folks have on what I could add to make it more useful.

Thank you for the detailed response!

Pivoting into arXiv is a good idea. It helps you have focused prompts and templates.

A natural progression is aggregation, categorization, and related paper suggestions. Since arXiv has HTML versions of papers now, you can also consider allowing deeplinked citations directly from the LLM summaries.

A GPT-curated comments section for papers would also be nice, automatically filtering out any spam that gets past the regular Disqus filters, then scoring/hiding comments based on usefulness or insight.

I am new to this space. Is it hard to fine tune this model?
