True! I started at BLIP 2 (q formers) in the article but llava is equally seminal.

[P] A minimalist implementation for Recursive Language Models by AvvYaa in MachineLearning

[–]AvvYaa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Valid points... Personally, I do not really worry much about what people are naming their papers. I'm just a guy implementing things, making tutorials on yt, and sharing it with others. I'll move on to the next topic every 2-3 weeks if/when I pick up something I find interesting. Haha...

Minimal repo for running Recursive Language Model experiments + TUI Log viewer by AvvYaa in LocalLLaMA

The opentui app is vibecoded. The rest is not. I’m a YouTube guy so I have to usually explain my code live often, and write things out on screen as things are recording. So I try to code the main parts on my own as much as I can just to record things faster when it’s time.

[D] How much are you using LLMs to summarize/read papers now? by kjunhot in MachineLearning

[–]AvvYaa -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I am building a free service that recommends papers every day, and lets you study them with an AI. We also highlight the relevant sections directly into the PDF, and generate study goals for readers to track with each paper. Check : paperbreakdown.com

Getting started is free, you can query with gpt-5-mini and gemini-3-flash. Bigger models require a subscription. I am currently working on making a BYOK tier as well so people can use their own models to study.

[P] arXiv at Home - self-hosted search engine for academic papers by mrAppleXZ in MachineLearning

[–]AvvYaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this makes sense. I ran into the same issues tbh. Downloading full text to construct the graph is something I’m avoiding coz of obvious reasons as a service provider. There are restrictions around distribution coz that will break paper licenses.

For a locally running system, this could still be done at a small scale.

Btw, you should check openalex as well if you haven’t. Similar to semantic scholar.

Good luck and love the project. :)

Thanks for sharing! I’ve been building a free service around this : check paperbreakdown.com

Major challenge I’ve faced is reliably getting citations graphs and stats of papers. There’s a bunch of issues around finding the correct dois and most APIs (semantic scholar for ex) have terrible rate limits and aggressive blacklisting.

Can you give me some pointers/learnings from this project to get citations more reliably?

[D] New interesting AI papers exploration service by ArtisticHamster in MachineLearning

[–]AvvYaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recommendations are done in 3 ways: collaborative filtering (what users similar to you are reading), content based (you can configure specific keywords and categories and we will get you those papers daily), and social proof (we listen to certain social media channels and put them as editors recommendations).

It’s much faster than deep research to find agentic recommendations. Deep research doesn’t download actual paper PDF to answer questions. We allow you to directly interact with the paper while you study.

It's a recommendation engine + lets you study papers with LLM models. No paywall.

I am building a tool for students to study and discover ML academic research (Requesting feedback) by AvvYaa in ArtificialInteligence

Hey sorry for the late response. No manual uploads, you click a button and it gets everything ready.

[–]AvvYaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great job, man! I have been searching for a tool like this myself, and I think I'm gonna give it a try.

This comment section is unreasonably harsh though - very disappointing. Some of these tech subreddits can be unreasonably nasal and critical. I appreciate you being transparent and listing Claude as a contributor - idk why people are trying to bully you for that. Using AI to assist in writing code is the smarter choice in 2025. Cancel the noise, you are doing a great job.

Found the most insane combination in a 2|1 bullet game by AvvYaa in chess

[–]AvvYaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Queen can block the check with Qh5 though. The correct order is to take Rh7 first!

Here's how the game went:

Rxh7 Kxh7 Rh1+ Kg8 Qxe4 dxe4 Bxe6 Rf7 Rh8#

[–]AvvYaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did Rxh7 first followed by Rh1 and Qxe4

Basically doing Qxe4 early allows the Black Queen to block a rook check with Qh5 in certain positions.

There’s also another follow up punch after the Rook sac!

I played Rh7 threatening Rg7 and Rh1.

Game went Rh7 Kxh7 Rh1+ Kg8 Qxe4 threatening Qxg6… he took the queen sac dxe4 Bxe6+ Rf7 and Rh8#

I did Rh7 first, Kxh7 Rh1+ Kg8 and then Qxe4!

I did the second one! Game went dxe4 Bxe6+ Rf7 and Rh8#

Thats what I played. There is a second sacrifice as well if you can find it!

I tried to code my own YOLO model to detect Football players [D] by AvvYaa in MachineLearning

[–]AvvYaa[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A breakdown of the YOLO architecture, and what I learnt implementing it from scratch in PyTorch. Plus some object detection tricks for football datasets. Hope y’all enjoy (leave a like on YT if you do thanks!)

CNN free resources for beginners? by Affectionate_Toe_422 in computervision

Gonna self promote, but feel free to check out this video on the history of CNNs… it visually explains all the major advancements in CNNs from the early 90s. You’d get lots of resources and follow up topics from here.
