HAL opens its doors to LLMs and servers quickly saturate

Original: How it started / How it's going Les neueu de HAL l'archive ouvert pour la science ont annoncé tout fiérot qu'ils ouvraie

HAL, the French open archive for scientific research, announced it would allow large language models to access its repository. Within days the platform reported its servers were saturated by the volume of automated queries. Researchers online are mocking the quick turnaround, contrasting the proud announcement with the strain that followed and questioning how research infrastructures should handle AI crawlers.

Why now: The contrast between HAL's confident announcement and its servers being overwhelmed days later has struck a nerve in the research community.
