Andrej Karpathy proposed a new approach to LLM memory, moving beyond large context windows and standard RAG. His concept involves an LLM incrementally building and maintaining a persistent, structured wiki of markdown files. This wiki acts as an associative knowledge store, with the LLM updating and cross-referencing information as new sources are processed, effectively compiling knowledge rather than just retrieving it. A tool called kb-wiki has been developed to implement this pattern, running locally and providing agents with commands to search, add, and update the wiki, enabling persistent memory without cloud reliance.
