FLock Research Platform - Final Status Report

🎉 Deployment Complete

Production URL: https://vibe-research-44jbp2sgh-flock-io.vercel.app
GitHub Repository: https://github.com/FLock-io/vibe-research
Status: ✅ LIVE and Operational


✅ What's Working Perfectly

1. Homepage - ✅ EXCELLENT

  • Shows 15 real FLock papers (not stub data)
  • Displays 164 total citations
  • Lists 7 venues (arXiv, IEEE, ICML, Conference, Neural Networks, ACM, Unpublished)
  • Beautiful gradient hero section
  • Top cited papers featured
  • Fully responsive

2. Graph Visualization - ✅ EXCELLENT

  • 15 FLock papers displayed as interactive nodes
  • 105 connection edges showing:
    • Co-authorship relationships
    • Temporal connections (same venue/year)
  • Interactive sidebar with all 15 papers clickable
  • Click any paper → highlights its connections
  • Color-coded by venue:
    • Blue: NeurIPS/ICLR
    • Purple: ICML
    • Green: arXiv
    • Orange: IEEE
    • Red: ACM
  • Node size = citation count (larger = more influential)
  • Animated connection particles
  • Zoom, pan, interactive tooltips

3. Venues Page - ✅ EXCELLENT

  • All 15 papers listed
  • Filter by venue (7 venues)
  • Sort by year or citations
  • Paper cards with full details
  • Links to original papers

4. About Page - ✅ EXCELLENT

  • Mission statement
  • Research areas
  • Beautiful design

5. Status Page - ✅ EXCELLENT

  • Shows last update time
  • Data statistics
  • System health

6. Auto-Sync - ✅ WORKING

  • Vercel Cron configured (daily at 2 AM UTC)
  • Google Scholar scraper fetches all pages
  • ScraperAPI integration bypasses blocking
  • Vercel KV storage persists data
  • Zero maintenance - just update Scholar profile

⚠️ Issues to Fix

1. Topics/Word Cloud Page - ⚠️ NEEDS TAGS

Issue: Papers don't have tags/keywords yet, so word cloud shows "Loading..."

Solution needed:

  • Add keyword extraction using FLock LLM
  • Or manually add tags to papers
  • The word cloud component is ready, just needs data

Quick fix: Add a script to generate tags from paper titles/abstracts using FLock API

2. LLM Chat - ⚠️ MODEL ACCESS ISSUE

Issue: FLock API returns error:

team not allowed to access model gpt-3.5-turbo

Supported models:

  • gpt-4o
  • gpt-4.1
  • gpt-4.1-mini
  • gemini/gemini-2.5-pro
  • qwen3-max

Solution needed: Go to: https://vercel.com/flock-io/vibe-research/settings/environment-variables

  • Edit FLOCK_MODEL
  • Change to: gpt-4o
  • Redeploy

3. Citing Papers - ℹ️ ENHANCEMENT

Status: Currently showing 0 citing papers

Why: Google Scholar requires additional scraping of each paper's "Cited by" page (rate-limited)

Options:

  • Wait for manual implementation later
  • Works fine without citing papers for now
  • The site shows co-authorship and temporal connections instead

🚀 What's Deployed

Tech Stack

  • ✅ Next.js 15 with TypeScript
  • ✅ Tailwind CSS
  • ✅ React Force Graph 2D
  • ✅ Custom Word Cloud component
  • ✅ Vercel KV storage
  • ✅ ScraperAPI integration
  • ✅ FLock LLM API

Infrastructure

  • ✅ Hosted on Vercel
  • ✅ Auto-deploy from GitHub
  • ✅ Vercel Cron (daily at 2 AM UTC)
  • ✅ Vercel KV for data storage

  • ✅ Saves to Vercel KV
  • ✅ Falls back to stub data gracefully
  • ✅ Local file storage for development

📊 Current Data

  • Papers: 15
  • Citations: 164 total
  • Venues: 7 unique
  • Graph Nodes: 15
  • Graph Edges: 105 (co-authorship + temporal)
  • Last Updated: Auto-syncs daily

Top Papers

  1. "Zero-Knowledge Proof-Based Gradient Aggregation" (42 citations)
  2. "From sora what we can see: A survey of text-to-video generation" (41 citations)
  3. "Defending against poisoning attacks in federated learning" (37 citations)

🔧 Quick Fixes Needed

Fix 1: Enable LLM Chat (2 minutes)

Go to: https://vercel.com/flock-io/vibe-research/settings/environment-variables

  1. Find FLOCK_MODEL
  2. Edit → Change to: gpt-4o
  3. Save
  4. Redeploy: vercel --prod

Fix 2: Add Keywords for Word Cloud (10 minutes)

Create a script to extract keywords from paper titles using FLock LLM:

# Run locally
npm run generate-keywords

# Then push to production
vercel --prod

Or manually add tags in the scraper based on title analysis.


📝 Commands Reference

# Local development
