Predictive Coding in the Visual Cortex
Your brain isn't passively receiving images—it's constantly guessing what comes next and updating when surprised.
Neural Networks for Solving PDEs
When differential equations get too hard for traditional solvers, neural nets learn to approximate the physics directly.
What's broken
Research is moving faster than ever, and even for technical readers, papers are often too abstract or assume background you don't have. Reading abstracts—or even full papers—frequently isn't enough to truly understand what's going on or why it matters.
How it works
Paper Buff lets you upload any research paper and turns it into a clear written explanation and a podcast-style audio summary. You choose your time budget and technical level, and the summary is generated to match exactly where you are.
Why not just GPT?
Knowledge isn't linear, so summaries shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. Paper Buff personalizes explanations to your background and reuses deep analysis under the hood, making high-quality understanding accessible to all.
