# Set your API key in config.py or via environment variable
python main.py
```

## Introduction
GPT Academic provides a practical, modular interface for large language models tailored to academic workflows. It streamlines paper reading, polishing, writing, and code analysis through a clean Gradio-based UI with one-click function plugins.

## What GPT Academic Does
- Polishes and proofreads academic papers with one click
- Translates full PDF and LaTeX documents while preserving formatting
- Analyzes Python, C++, and other project codebases via LLM
- Supports parallel querying across multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, GLM, DeepSeek, Claude, and more)
- Offers a plugin system for custom function extensions

## Architecture Overview
GPT Academic is built on a Gradio web interface backed by a modular Python core. Each academic function (paper polish, translation, code analysis) is implemented as a drop-in plugin that hooks into the main conversation loop. The system supports concurrent LLM API calls and manages context through a session-based architecture with streaming responses.

## Self-Hosting & Configuration
- Clone the repository and install dependencies via pip
- Configure API keys in `config.py` or through environment variables
- Supports Docker deployment with the included Dockerfile
- Optionally enable local models like ChatGLM or Qwen for offline use
- Adjust proxy settings and model endpoints in the configuration file

## Key Features
- One-click academic paper polishing with grammar and style corrections
- Full PDF/LaTeX translation preserving mathematical formulas and layout
- Multi-model parallel querying for comparing outputs side by side
- Extensible plugin architecture for custom academic workflows
- Code project analysis supporting multiple programming languages

## Comparison with Similar Tools
- **ChatGPT web interface** — general-purpose; GPT Academic is purpose-built for academic reading and writing workflows
- **Open WebUI** — focuses on chat interface; GPT Academic adds specialized academic function plugins
- **Dify** — LLMOps platform for building apps; GPT Academic targets end-user academic productivity
- **LibreChat** — multi-model chat; GPT Academic provides domain-specific tools like LaTeX translation

## FAQ
**Q: Which LLM providers are supported?**
A: OpenAI GPT series, Azure OpenAI, ChatGLM, DeepSeek, Claude, Qwen, and many more through a unified API interface.

**Q: Can I run it fully offline?**
A: Yes, by connecting a local model such as ChatGLM or Qwen. No external API calls are required in that configuration.

**Q: Does it handle LaTeX formatting during translation?**
A: Yes, the PDF and LaTeX translation plugins preserve mathematical formulas, figures, and document structure.

**Q: Is it suitable for non-academic use?**
A: The core chat interface works for general tasks, but the one-click plugins are designed around academic paper workflows.
