Summary

A 30-second demo of alphaXiv's new "Paperscrolling" feature. It shows trending research papers in a scrollable, doomscroll-style feed. Each card comes from alphaXiv Briefs and gives the paper's key ideas, figures and an audio explanation. The video scrolls quickly through example briefs, such as the GLM 5.3 model report, an AI scientist agent that replicates research papers, and automated e-commerce poster design.

Key points

• alphaXiv launched Paperscrolling, a feed of trending research papers built for people who already keep up with research by scrolling X.
• Each paper is shown as an alphaXiv Brief with its key ideas, figures and an audio explanation, so you can skim it without reading the full PDF.
• Example from the feed: GLM 5.3 is built on the same base model as GLM 5.2.
• Example from the feed: an AI scientist agent called Faraday (from a group the transcript calls 'Inherent') is designed to replicate research papers.
• Example from the feed: an auto-design system for automated e-commerce poster design, credited to researchers including Meituan and MBZUAI.
• Use it to keep up with trends: skim briefs first, then read the full papers that matter to your work.
