ActiveTool of Arxiv
Search arXiv preprints. Plain text searches all fields; use prefixes for targeted queries: au:hinton (author), ti:transformer (title), abs:diffusion (abstract), cat:cs.AI (category), all:quantum (any field). Combine with AND/OR/ANDNOT, e.g., "ti:transformer AND cat:cs.LG". Returns id, title, authors, abstract, categories, published date, PDF URL.
