Show HN: I made a website to semantically search ArXiv papers

I used MixedBread's [^1] embedding model to generate vectors from the abstracts. I store and search similar vectors using Milvus [^2] and finally use Gradio [^3] to serve the frontend. I update the vector database weekly by pulling the metadata dataset from Kaggle [^4].

To speed up the search process on my free oracle instance, I binarise the embeddings and use Hamming distance as a metric.

I would love your feedback on the site :) Happy Holidays!
