Andrej Karpathy proposes AI-maintained wiki to replace RAG

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Andrej Karpathy has proposed a new approach to AI knowledge management, moving away from retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) towards an AI-maintained wiki.

    <p>Someone on Hacker News asked the question that stops most people cold. "Isn't this just kicking the can down the road?" They were responding to Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki, a pattern that proposes we stop using RAG and start letting AI build persistent knowledge bases instead. …
