A new concept called "LLM Wiki," popularized by Andrej Karpathy, proposes a shift from traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Unlike RAG, which processes and retrieves information on demand for each query, LLM Wiki compiles knowledge once during ingestion. Large language models are used to understand, summarize, and structure information from source documents into a navigable Markdown wiki with interlinked pages. This compiled knowledge base is then used to answer user queries, offering faster responses and lower computational costs. Several companies, including Cognition, Factory, LangChain, and Garry Tan's GBrain, have already developed products based on this architecture, each with slightly different approaches to data integration and update mechanisms.

IMPACT This approach could significantly reduce inference costs and improve response times for LLM applications by pre-compiling knowledge.
