GalacTex: LLM-based Tools for Overleaf
GalacTex is a Chrome extension that brings the power of large-language models (LLMs) to Overleaf, a popular online LaTeX editor. Developed by Wiss, this free extension allows users to enhance their Overleaf experience by integrating the Galactica LLM, which is based on the GPT4Overleaf and LeafLLM projects.
To get started, users need to install the GalacTex-Server by following the instructions provided in the repository. Once installed, the extension can be configured by clicking the plugin button in the Chrome toolbar. Users will need to enter the server endpoint for the self-hosted server and choose which tools they want to enable. The extension also offers the ability to customize generation parameters from the plugin's popup.
Currently, GalacTex offers two main tools: auto-complete and auto-complete selection. The auto-complete tool can be triggered by pressing Alt+C, while the auto-complete selection tool can be activated by selecting a text and pressing Alt+Shift+C. These tools provide users with efficient and convenient ways to enhance their writing experience in Overleaf.
It is worth noting that if users encounter any issues or have questions, they can open an issue in the project's repository for assistance. Additionally, the extension respects user privacy by saving its configuration locally and not collecting any data from users.
GalacTex is a valuable extension for Overleaf users who want to leverage the power of large-language models for their LaTeX editing needs. With its intuitive interface and customizable options, it provides a seamless integration of LLM capabilities into the Overleaf environment.
