Great, I write a more detailed issues about this here.

It seems that I got some problem with my fork branch, look like I wasn't update at time of the PR.
I will fix that soon.

If you figure out any inconsistencies with the code base or just typescript/svelte bad practice feel free to comment or propose a fix.
This features was originaly code for my personal usage but I think this could be usefull for everyone, in particular for research paper this worflow of converting the file to native markdown/latex give impressive result with GPT4 and Claude2.

I also did a PR about adding the OpenAI API support in Chat UI here.

@hungryalgo
#449 is outdated. Yes, having the PDF in the chat interface would be very cool. As far as I know, there are no plans for that yet. However, I have suggested the idea of doing a basic PDF integration in chat-ui (without the Mathpix stuff): #531 (comment).

I don't know if there are any plans to add the PDF soon, @nsarrazin might be the best person to ask

Closed in favor of PR #641 that closes issue #609, right?
