In 2021, I trained and published a specialized character based deep neural network to classify scientification publications, trained on 25 000 000 abstracts, we stop because it was not improving anymore.
ONLY 5 years later! That work is completely replaced by Jev and Qwen 27b.
Jev is essentially a classifier of anything. this can be very very convenient!

Maxime Rivest shares a trained model that classifies any abstract against any given taxonomy, matching Qwen 27B and Jev-level superhuman accuracy at an order of magnitude lower cost and latency, while reflecting on the specialization vs. generalization tradeoff.

Maxime Rivest reports that a Qwen 4B model fine-tuned on ~500 scientific publication rewrites for accessibility now outperforms frontier models like Opus, Astra, and Luna — achieved in just 3 hours on a consumer RTX 3090 using coding agents to generate the training set.
@MaximeRivest: let's make science more accessible! its free and opensource! https://sciencemadereadable.com
Maxime Rivest launched Science, Made Readable, a free open-source site that rewrites open-access scientific papers into plain language for general audiences, using small fine-tuned Qwen 3.5 models (9B, 4B, 0.8B) that run on a home RTX 3090 and a rented H100. A judge model scored the 9B model at 7.8/10, slightly above GPT-6 Luna (7.5) but below Claude Opus (8.5), at about half a cent per paper.
