It shines in sharing knowledge but ### Is gpt_academic or llm-action more popular on GitHub? gpt_academic has more GitHub stars (71,361 vs 24,898). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are gpt_academic and llm-action open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (gpt_academic: GPL-3.0, llm-action: Apache-2.0). ### Where can I find alternatives to gpt_academic or llm-action? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [gpt_academic alternatives](/tools/binary-husky-gpt-academic/alternatives) and [llm-action alternatives](/tools/liguodongiot-llm-action/alternatives) ([gpt_academic markdown twin](/tools/binary-husky-gpt-academic/alternatives.md), [llm-action markdown twin](/tools/liguodongiot-llm-action/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/binary-husky-gpt-academic-vs-liguodongiot-llm-action.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, gpt_academic or llm-action? gpt_academic: Slowing. llm-action: Active. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for gpt_academic and llm-action? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [gpt_academic trust report](/tools/binary-husky-gpt-academic/trust); [llm-action trust report](/tools/liguodongiot-llm-action/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=binary-husky-gpt-academic`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=binary-husky-gpt-academic) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
