There are no premium tiers, no compile quotas, and no API rate limits imposed on the user.<\/p>\n<p>Architecturally, it runs on a <strong>Django\/FastAPI backend<\/strong> with a <strong>React frontend<\/strong>, orchestrating a local <strong>ChromaDB vector store<\/strong>, a custom <strong>LaTeX compilation engine<\/strong>, and a live <strong>arXiv.org API gateway<\/strong> with circuit-breaker resilience.
