Reform.ai
Takes a research paper as PDF and returns it as a compilable LaTeX manuscript in a target journal’s format.
Built the single-pass extraction engine and the deterministic LaTeX generator.
- LLM passes per paper: 1 (source: Reform.ai README)
- Extraction cost per paper: $0.10–0.50 (source: Reform.ai README)
- LLM cost after extraction: $0 (source: Reform.ai README)
- Validated on papers up to: 20 pages (source: Reform.ai project description, Mar 2026)
Read once
A vision-capable model reads the whole PDF in a single pass and fills a strict schema: sections, equations, figures, tables, citations, references.
Validate
The output is a typed JSON document. Recursive schema references are flattened so the model’s structured-output mode accepts them; a validator checks what came back.
Generate, without a model
Plain code turns the JSON into LaTeX and BibTeX: wide tables get paragraph columns, equations return to the paragraph they belonged to, citation ranges are compressed.
Swap the journal
Formatting rules live in a profile file. A different journal is a different profile, not different code.
