how to use?

This project uses Groq platform for very fast response generation, so you will need to setup an API key for it. Groq provides a free tier API for personal usage.

To use smoltex you need to follow two simple steps:

Step 1: setup

• Visit the Groq console to create your API key for free.

• Then in the terminal of your choice, paste the below line:

export GROQ_API_KEY=<your-api-key-here>

or add this line to your .bashrc or .zshrc file for persistent usage.

Step 2: use

In the current terminal session, the command for using smoltex is smoltex followed by the natural language description of the latex equation you want:

smoltex "equation for cross entropy"

The output will be the latex string of the requested description. You can paste the equation in any latex renderer to see the result.

That's it.
