Show HN: Gist Discover – TikTok for ArXiv Summaries

Gist Discover is a free feed that summarizes arXiv AI papers into slide decks with four layers: gist, logic, counter-argument, and steelman. The creator trained a custom model using a $130K multi-teacher pipeline, claiming it beats frontier models on quality. It also offers IDE extensions for Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Background

- **arXiv** (pronounced "archive") is the primary open-access repository where researchers in AI, physics, and related fields publish preprints before or alongside peer-reviewed publication. It hosts thousands of new papers each week — far more than any individual can read.
