The biorecap package summarizes bioRxiv preprints using a local LLM. I used two LLMs to help me write the package, and two other LLMs to help me write a paper about the package, published on arXiv.
I wrote an R package that summarizes recent bioRxiv preprints using a locally running LLM via Ollama+ollamar, and produces a summary HTML report from a parameterized RMarkdown template. Shortly after putting together that one-off demo, on a sultry Sunday afternoon in Virginia too hot to do anything outside, I took the code from that post, generalized it a bit, and created the biorecap package: https://github.com/stephenturner/biorecap. Create a report with 2-sentence summaries of recent papers published in the bioinformatics, genomics, and synthetic biology sections, using llama3.1:8b running locally on your laptop:
