arXiv Is Rate Limiting Authors Following a Flood of AI Slop Submissions
arXiv now limits authors to two submissions a month as AI slop overwhelms moderators, delays good papers, and sparks debate over applying the limit to everyone.

Advanced tools
Verifiable random numbers for games, AI agents, and lotteries. Every outcome is provably fair via VDF (Verifiable Delay Function) with on-chain anchoring to Polygon.
import { OpenRNG } from '@openrng/sdk';
const rng = new OpenRNG({ apiKey: 'your-key' });
// Place a Sic Bo bet
const bet = await rng.placeSicBoBet('big', 10);
console.log(bet.game_id); // wait for VDF epoch resolution
// Wait for the result (~5s)
const result = await rng.waitForResult(bet.game_id);
console.log(result.result.won, result.result.payout);
// Verify the game's proof
const verified = await rng.verifyGame(bet.game_id);
console.log(verified.verified); // true
npm install @openrng/sdk
The Decision Engine provides provably fair games with VDF-based randomness.
const rng = new OpenRNG({ apiKey: 'orn_xxx' });
// List available games
const catalog = await rng.getGames();
// Sic Bo — bet types: big, small, odd, even, total, single, double, triple, anyTriple, combo
const sicbo = await rng.placeSicBoBet('big', 10);
const sicboResult = await rng.waitForResult(sicbo.game_id);
// Dice — bet types: exact, over7, under7, odd, even
const dice = await rng.placeDiceBet('over7', 5);
const diceResult = await rng.waitForResult(dice.game_id);
// With options
const bet = await rng.placeSicBoBet('total', 10, {
clientSeed: 'my-seed',
playerId: 'player-1',
value: 14, // target total
});
// Generate raw verified entropy
const raw = await rng.generateRng('optional-client-seed');
const rawResult = await rng.waitForResult(raw.request_id);
// Get current VDF entropy
const entropy = await rng.getEntropy();
console.log(entropy.entropy, entropy.epoch);
// Verify any game
const proof = await rng.verifyGame(gameId);
console.log(proof.verified, proof.replay_steps);
// Get a game's status/result
const game = await rng.getGame(gameId);
// Recent games
const recent = await rng.getRecent();
// Platform statistics
const stats = await rng.getStats();
console.log(stats.resolvedGames, stats.currentEpoch);
// Health check
const health = await rng.getHealth();
const rng = new OpenRNG({
apiKey: 'orn_xxx', // API key
baseUrl: 'https://api.openrng.io', // Server URL (default)
maxRetries: 3, // Retry count (default: 3)
retryBaseDelayMs: 200, // Base retry delay (default: 200ms)
timeoutMs: 10000, // Request timeout (default: 10s)
});
The v0.1 token pool methods are still available for backward compatibility:
const rng = new OpenRNG({
agentId: 'my-agent',
endpoint: 'https://api.openrng.io',
});
const result = await rng.number({ min: 1, max: 100 });
const choice = await rng.choose(['a', 'b', 'c'], { weights: [0.5, 0.3, 0.2] });
const shuffled = await rng.shuffle([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
const roll = await rng.dice(2, 6);
const coin = await rng.flip();
const bulk = await rng.batch(100, { min: 0, max: 1 });
const valid = await OpenRNG.verify(result.proof);
For the V2 Verifiable Entropy Object (VEO-1) standard:
import { VEOClient } from '@openrng/sdk';
const veo = new VEOClient();
const entropy = await veo.getEntropy({ policy: 'gaming-grade' });
const verified = await veo.verify(entropy);
import { OpenRNG, PoolExhaustedError, RateLimitError, AuthenticationError } from '@openrng/sdk';
try {
const bet = await rng.placeSicBoBet('big', 10);
} catch (err) {
if (err instanceof AuthenticationError) {
// Invalid API key
} else if (err instanceof RateLimitError) {
// Back off for err.retryAfterMs
} else if (err instanceof PoolExhaustedError) {
// Server generating entropy — retry shortly
}
}
Uses Node.js built-in fetch (Node 18+). No external dependencies.
