Cryptology ePrint RSS Summarizer Bot 📢🤖

A Python-based automation bot that monitors the IACR Cryptology ePrint Archive RSS feed, summarizes academic paper abstracts using an LLM, and posts consolidated notifications to Discord.

✨ Features

• Consolidated Posts: Aggregates new papers to avoid spamming the Discord channel.
• OpenAI-Compatible API: Works natively with OpenAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, or local LLMs.
• Date-filtered First Run: Prevents bulk LLM API costs on first startup.
• State Persistence: Remembers processed papers in state.json.
